One star lit night I sat down to write, A Little short poem about dragons and kites Though In nature they do differ still the similarities remain, One’s found in a fairy tale adventure the other in a child's small hand to entertain. One has sharp teeth and a mouth that spits fire, One holds a boys dream of a future aviator to inspire. They both have long tails, though ones lined with ribbons the other lined with scales And magic wings that lift them up higher over the highlands and vales While catching a ride on the back of a strong wind gale One lives in a cave and the other a toy box, One sleeps on a rock and the other hangs from tree tops. One’s tamed by the pull of a kite runner’s string, The other steered by a dragon rider straddled between its wings. One’s made from myth, legend, folklore and fear, The other made from the design and blueprint of an inventor's mind's idea. Ones made of sinews, muscles, flesh and bones, The others made of a cross wooden stick frame over which cloth is stretched, and sewn. Ones enchanted by wizards and knighted by kings, The other’s to cheer up a child's heart and fulfill all his wishes and dreams. And now out of my head my subjects take flight, Now I do find there's no more to write, Of the different and likes between dragons and kites.
