Title says most of it. This is more like an epic than a poem though. I came up with it on the way to school. Tell me what you think.
Calliope would be proud.

In an old, mighty town by the shore
There was a dragon knocking at the door
Heroes were called; as were soldiers brave
But none of them, could the town save

The civilians watched, blood-scent sickened
As their best warriors were all then stricken
In the midst of this was a young boy
Who was determined to bring peace and joy

The king, he promised gold and wives
So many attempted heroes gave their lives
But the boy, he wanted naught
Yet still, to the town he went and fought

Not a moment too soon was his arrival
The dragon just slain its main archrival
Ready to pillage and then to burn
The dragon wrought havoc, as the boy was soon to learn

The hero pulls his bowstring taut
Arrow ready to fly, and discover
The true love, of peace, he sought
The crowd watches, all in awe
It's sure to be the coup de grace
Then the boy disappears into the dragon's maw

The others stare, terrified
Sure they must have mistaken eyes
Then the red hot rage breaks through their shock
They pick up sticks, and rocks
They throw them at the dragon, yea
And the dragon, then he flies away

The townsfolk, they were left alone
Frightened, shaken to the bone
Their town in shambles, all their warriors dead
The trodden dirt, now soaked with red

The weakling, the young one
Because of him, the battle was won
With his final breaths
He passed the savior's final test
To sacrifice, to give again
So they may win, and he may rest

I think that because I had nothing to write it down on, I left some of what I came up with on the way to school in some lost-memory refuge in my mind(which would probably be full to bursting, then). But still...fairly good.
But it's not my opinion that counts. It's yours. So what do you think?

I wonder. Have you ever thought about getting some of your work published? If not then you should serously consider it. You would probably get alot of books out there and mabye get some cash along the way. Yet money is the root of all evil (literaly), or Freddy Kruger... Either way look out in your dreams and DON'T get to Rich...
