Pick A Poem

     Here’s a poem I like.  It’s a prophecy from a fantasy book series about dragons called “The Dragonet Prophecy”.  The book series is called Wings Of Fire and it’s by Tui T. Sutherland.  I’m sure it sounds pretty confusing, but it makes more sense if you read the first five books of the series.



The Dragonet Prophecy 


When the war has lasted twenty years...
The dragonets will come.
When the land is soaked in blood and tears...
The dragonets will come.

Find the SeaWing egg of deepest blue.
Wings of night shall come to you.
The largest egg in mountain high
Will give to you the wings of sky.

For wings of earth, search through the mud
For an egg the color of dragon blood.
And hidden alone from the rival queens,
The SandWing egg awaits unseen.

 Of three queens who blister, blaze, and burn,
Two shall die and one shall learn 
If she bows to a fate that is stronger and higher,
She’ll have the power of wings of fire.

Five eggs to hatch on the brightest night,
Five dragons born to end the fight.
Darkness will rise to bring the light.
The dragonets are coming...
