Return of the exiles for Bro Orlando

narrative verse

 

Return of the Exiles

 

At last the dragon race is free

 from the long exile they have served.

A very heavy penalty imposed

 although it was not deserved.

 

Found guilty although innocent.

They had no choice but to obey

 and so began their banishment.

Reluctantly they made their way.

 

To a far distant galaxy

where they were forced to make their home.

The Dragons waited patiently

 they knew in time the call would come.

 

They have returned triumphantly.

Their unjust exile at an end

back to their home world eagerly.

Where they are needed to defend

 

 the human race from anarchy

They reassume their ancient role,

as guardians of humanity

 and once again they will patrol.

 

The skies of earth vigilantly

and will restore the old values.

Neglected by the humanity

allowed to fall into disuse.

 

All will be treated equally

 and peace will reign on earth once more.

Now that the dragon race is free

These benign guardians of the law.

 

All will accept this gratefully.

The gentle and the innocent.

But some will tremble fearfully

afraid of well earned punishment.

 

Today I saw the dragons fly.

 A sight I never thought to see

in graceful arcs across the sky.

To guard and guide humanity.

Very nice, it flowed well. I agree with Amy Carrington, it's rare to find fantasy poems that are written in the narrative form anymore. Good job.

Well done a nice even flow of words to create a strong story written.

Wow, this is very good. It's hard to find original sounding fantasy poems, but you did a great job in doing so. kudos!
