A Modern Dragon

by Rowena Bennett

Rowena Bastin Bennett

A train is a dragon that roars through the dark
He wriggles his tail as he sends up.a spark.
He pierces the night with his one yellow eye,
And all the earth trembles when he rushes by.




Quotes of the Day

Love is done when Love's begun,
Sages say,
But have Sages known?
Truth adjourn your Boon
Without Day.

    The Frog Prince
    by Anne Sexton
    Frau Doktor, Mama Brundig, take out your contacts, remove your wig. I write for you. I entertain. But frogs come out of the sky like rain. Frogs arrive With an ugly fury. You are my judge.
