Soulful the dragon slayer

Soulful the dragon slayer     Hiding within the edges of the forest     I peer..     Questing for the greatest of the     winged beast..     My heart in my throat, the dragon draws near     Carefully i tread.     Tonight shall bring feasts     I part the branches an peek through the brush     Jaws with ivory white,shimmering gold scales     I retreat softly..Snap! I duck in a rush     Leaning back,I close my eyes ,my face pales     Thump, Thump. my heart begins to pound     I peer into the clearing an dive to the side     Claws slash a tree a loud crackling sound     I bound away adrenaline flowing inside     Circling,I remove my sword from its scabbard     His tail whips about spinning at my chest     I block with my sheild thrusting my habbard     Thrusting an jabbibg I attack with my best     Downward arc he rips through my shoulder     Frantically I stab,pain searing through me     Exhausted I falter,his assault becomes bolder     With a swing of his tail I crash into a tree     Slumping to the ground,I look up in a daze     Bewildered,I become entranced by fiery gold eyes     My breath comes in gasps, I slip into a haze     Crumpling I stare aimlessly at the fading sky      Crunch! There goes my head     Munch! Morsels of me,delightful treat     The mighty dragon's now been fed     All that remains are my size 12 feet.
