A poem about a sad little lone dragon, but then something happends...I think this would be better as a story and I plan to do it as a story sometime.

Above the stars
where no one can see
is a little glitterdragon.
From the world below
he appears as a star.
He jumps around from star to star
and planet to planet
looking for others of his kind.
He has searched
for hundred of years
but has yet not found others.
He sits down on a star
letting his wings embrace him.
A single crystal tear
runs down his face.
He feels so alone
no one to play with.
Suddenly he sees a light
it comes closer.
It's a small fairy
she is lost
and all alone.
She smiles to the glitterdragon
he smiles back.
They have both found someone else
and are no longer alone.
If you look at the sky
if there is two bright shining stars
you know now
the glitterdragon is not sad anymore.

Nice, though it could be better...and not necessarily as a story. You could try to rhyme it, it has this 'children's song' feel to it. Great concept, tho, I really like the word 'glitterdragon'.

23 Monica *Volcanokitten* Christensen replies: "It could propably be better, again one of those fast written ones just to get published in here. I've written more than 300 poems in both Danish and English, and I do have some fictional ones, but I most of them are about more real life situations or fiction stories, as in not fantasy or sci-fi that can fit Elfwood's theme. I like the word glitterdragon as well 2 About rhyming...no, I won't do that. I'm not that big of a fan of rhyming, and it's not how I prefer to write them. I have a few that rhymes, but not very many. I don't mind that others rhymes, but I don't like it myself."

If you don't like rhyming too much, what about a structured poem, like a triolet? I used to hate rhyming too, but poetry was once upon a time my secondary focus in college (about 12-14 years ago- I am getting old). I didn't continue that line of study and haven't written in years, but the structured poems are very challenging and you don't notice the rhyme so much. The meaning you can hide in them is just amazing and (I'll say it again) fun. I really should study the forms again and write some more, then maybe I could actually be some use in Elfwood for cc. My major study in college is now art, but I don't have enough skill and knowledge yet for cc there.

23 Monica *Volcanokitten* Christensen replies: "Thx for the suggestion, but it's not for me. I had to do a Google define search to figure out what triolet meant. But again it's kinda about rhyming, which I don't like, but also don't like the part with having several lines in the poem being the same. Others might like it, but it's not something for me. But it's also not really an issue, since I haven't written poems or stories for years now."
