The Language of Dragons by ~DaYog:iconDaYog:



I used to know the language of dragons.
We would sit and talk
Of fair princesses—
Damsels in distress—
And barbequed knights
Slow roasted over an open flame.
Just a hint of smokiness
And not to much vinegar, mind you.

They'd talk of how
All that metal
Really kept the meat moist
And how they hated it
When no shining armor
Came to the rescue.

But that was before
Revolution killed all the princesses
And the gun
Banished the knight.

...So long ago
Where did the dragons go?
Where did the dragons go?
So long ago...

barbequed knights made me laugh, i started reading and it reminded me of how suppressing times have been for women (my thoughts nothing about your poem) and then i started laughing so i was sidetracked from that thought

Well this was definitely a chuckle poem with a bit of sadness at the end. Isn't there always a little wisp of sadness in nostalgia?

As I read this I started to hum a song I learnt at school "Where did all the flowers go?"

That's quite possibly it then. :)
