She resides at 103 Dragon Hill
mystic castle overlooking the sea
beneath a starry sky, winds still
soaring in dreams, she is set free
following the songs of her heart
searching for mysterious keys
her knight awaits, her lips part
soaring in dreams, she is set free
enchantment, a magical spell
slumbering under a willow tree
within her soul true love dwells
soaring in dreams, she is set free
beneath a starry sky, winds still
soaring in dreams, she is set free
following the songs of her heart
searching for mysterious keys
her knight awaits, her lips part
soaring in dreams, she is set free
enchantment, a magical spell
slumbering under a willow tree
within her soul true love dwells
soaring in dreams, she is set free

"Soaring in dreams, she is set free." How lovely that is to contemplate. I love the cool sign in the photo! we just featured poems about dragons at Poets united. Smiles.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sherry, I was drawn to name so thought I'd play along.
DeleteSuch a lane with a tree swayed of love. Not a bad dream indeed.
ReplyDeleteNot bad indeed, if a dream took seed.
DeleteNo surprise you would come up with a beautiful poem when prompted by that image!
ReplyDeleteThank you Alex! You do know how I feel about dragons and stars.
DeleteIntriguing title, and a fun poem. Street names really can be inspiring, or otherwise cool. That's Entertainment, a comic & collectibles store in Worcester, MA, is on the corner of Park Avenue and Lois Lane. They petitioned the city to change the little street's name a few years ago, and the city agreed. I love that.
ReplyDeleteHa - I love that Lois Lane, I have seen some unique street names while traveling.
DeleteOkay, should I get my mind out of the gutter or did I read what I thought I just read?
ReplyDeleteHi True.
Hi Blue.
DeleteAre you reading between the lines ;)
I like being set free soaring in dreams.
ReplyDeleteMe too Frank!
DeleteSo romantic. Sounds like she found a fine, upstanding knight to take care of her. Dragon Hill will never be the same again! The rhyme and metre give this a lovely ballad-y feel. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sarah, I enjoyed the prompt!
DeleteYes, there has to be a castle of some sort on Dragon Hill! Not forgetting the maiden and the knight in shining armour!
ReplyDeleteSmilng castles and knights a rendezvous in another time.
DeleteShe waits her beloved's return, how romantic. In her ivory tower, awaiting love's first kiss. A wonderful classic theme, bravo!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mark! A classic theme works for me!
