CHASING THE DRAGON

 

CHASING THE DRAGON

By Phil Miller

Be still, don’t move, can you see him there?

Clinging to reeds, waiting for the moment

To swim for the weeds, his mate awaits

In warty blouse, so cute she thinks is

This Great Crested Newt, whose dance

Entrance with grace and flair

His magnificent tail filling the air

With pheromones, to start a love affair.

  1. Nice one Phil, not your usual style. Very sensitive and I love the play of words in the title. Much appreciated...

  2. Like it Phil, when I was young they were very common, sadly they are now quite rare.
