The Dragon’s Dog

[crow]

I’ve been very distracted by this idiotic poem. I rewrote it to try to be responsive to the critiques:

The dragon’s dog was beautiful,
a perfect Cane Corso.
He took her to the festival
to win him “Best in Show.”

Some said oooo, and some said ahhhh,
they all said aaaaaaaaaaa!, and fled,
but some fell on their knees and prayed
as they burned to death.

But that version is worse not better. And I would like to have never posted the dumb original.

But I ended up with this weird thing.

The Dragon’s Dog
The Judge

There is fear, and the heart learns
from the muscles in the back
how to beat when afraid,
and the mind goes black.

The dragon’s dog is beautiful,
lion on its back, “Perfect!,”
as you apologize
and breathe at at at last.

I don’t want anyone to spend time on this, but I wanted y’all to know that I‘ve been reading and rereading your notes..
