Hi Steve
It's so good to read your work again!
This is amazing and so imaginative.Lizard King
I am the lizard king,
hot-house jungle terror.
My tread shakes the sands
sends shivers through the leaves.
I am cousin to Komodo and Gila,
though thy are called dragons.
I might consider shortening this line to:
called dragonsBut I am better than they,
as in Chinese myths and tales I can fly.
My claws sharper than those told of in tales of knighthood.
I am the final fruit, combination of centuries of genes,
from the greatest creatures to ever roam the land,
I have been spawned!
Oh, look Henry, first Robin of spring.
This is a twist at the end - not sure I understand it, but enjoyed it anyway.
Thanks for the entertaining read.
Take care
Snow
