well now...this one is somewhat daring on my part. The odd language (in italics) is one that I've composed from a blend of some ancient languages...a few of which have evolved to the present and is a language I call 'Dracos~Zpiich' ... 'Dragon~Speak'.
Also I'm choosing to post it now even though I'm not certain it is finished. My publisher has reviewed it as is offered here and they seem to feel that it has merit as a final version. (I'll simply have to let this strange poem 'float within' for a while and see where the current of inspiration carries it from here.)
DYMNUUS DRACNYL ... ... DOMAIN DRACONIA
. . .. ...
"id Dracos ud sylth dus ent vyng zynthaj
vvas eqwynt syrlos syrm trenz rylmz diirk myst d' ion vyt"
...
I Dragon do take thee on wing'd voyage
toward unknown mystic trance-scapes shadowed of heavy mists
. .. ... .. .
"id Draggyn izyrp dus zas provytt myl
plit hyv zyd d' duum uun vext zyr daat d' lyjnd zilant zyxt d' tymm-fadre saylz"
...
I Dragonne usurp thee as prophet mine
myths glimpsed of doom bear false witness of legends silently spoken of time-faded souls
. .. ... .. .
"id Vyn Dracos Verynthrax kumynd nuw 'Deizeyzt' !
navyn mir vyl id bin hyynzed ny pursuvt amz hyr-sfyr id dat zon zyzryx vyngz d' nfernuus glydd ipen Sphyryxx~Bryph wid myn Dymnuus Dracnyl"
...
I 'Dragon~Such' Every One That Is command presently "Desist !"
never more shall I be haunted nor hunted here to ever-after I am the one of inferno's wings gliding upon Spirit~Breath within my Domain Draconia
. .. ... .. .
"id Ohm~Dracos vizynd ming d' duum vyl einzfyrth bin rivvyrd
ixuldid ivon sysh altyr ziz Ghodz trenzuldid du adyrazen vas mydik ydlz immz zon rezpentus impetymie d' zynztyr ggraze"
...
I 'Omni~Dragon' visioned being of doom shall henceforth be revered
ascended upon such altars of Gods transcended to adoration as mystic idols resplendent as the epitome of sinister elegance
. .. ... .. .
"id Dracos~Zpiich ud fyrthvytt umbwar ent myn uwnn truut qvysst
id Dracos~Zhall ymvat ipen dus zon zuutra-qyztanzzez d' mii"
...
I 'Dragon~Speak' do forthwith embark on my chosen truth-quest
I 'Dragon~All' impart upon thee the ultra-quintessence of me
... .. . . . . . .
though my publisher states that they feel this is a good sequel to my first effort in this venue, 'DRAGON~SUCH'
I still wonder wheather i should have taken so many risks with this poem's curious language or if I even know how to compose in this realm of folklore.
so...what-the-hey...it's fun to be daring and worth the risk to try something a bit unique (and all of you offer such good input to guide me along)

Me? I got a great kick out of this piece, NIms. Mish is going to love it, too. Glad you provided the translation in English, as I was at my wit's end trying to make heads or tails of what looked like Welsh? to me... And for what it's worth, I think you're doing quite well in the folklore genre...But, then, I love to see poets write in genres they don't usually express themselves in...I get a kick out of watching them kick boxes over in their heads and see there are more creative halls in their heads than they realized...You, go, boy! ggglgggl...Nir.

I knew you'd love it, Mishie. And we might not have had wits enough about us to translate it ourselves, but, between the two of us, I bet eventually we'd of thought to babblefish it...LOL...Nir.

Grand sweeping bow to Lord Nims...with painted claws in front of lowered dragon snout...tail waggin in the wind... "The marvel is in your words Sir!"

She ran full out on purple dragon legs pumping her wings hard raising her head to the sky Calling sweetly deep "you can do it...yes you can..." the edge of the cliff looming it was now or never for the lift Off the earth her feet went wings catching the up draft fast with a heavy sigh she trickles fire "Boy howdy...I need to lose some girth..." Soaring over the valley she feels at home once more knowing down below her friends spin tales of great things of old and new... Freedom is such a gift so as not to be taken lightly for her it means she can be herself without question...without judgement... Spying the blue of water she heads with passion for it lazy circles...dipping wing tips... thoughts of inner peace fill her... Until... A lone fish...mean fish... jumps high out of the blue... to scare the living daylights out of her... she flips...dips...tilts...weaves...high...low... In what appears to be a triple flip end over nose scoring a 10 to 12 on the scale she belly flops...belly slides on the water... Before sinking... she's left thinking... "You best swim little fish... swim...swim...swim...I'm a wee bit hungry now!" LOL...sorry Lord Nim's...just on a run...and happen to be at your place...off my rocker...out of my box...seeing stars...and all that rot...going to bed now...probably the best thing I can do...for all of us...lol... wist mish...mish wist...dragonsomething...
