Poem: Dragon's Tooth - By Angel Jean Wall

Dragon's Tooth
I felt a hot breath
On the back of my neck.
When I turned around there was nobody there.
The only thing there was a tooth.
A dragon's tooth.
I polished it so much that it shined like the sun.
It was put on a chain.
Now it swings freely on my neck.
Brings me good luck wherever I turn.
I noticed this shadow following me.
A huge dark shadow.
A beautiful creature he was.
But I always saw him in the corner of my eye.
Without turning around one day
I asked
Do you want your tooth back?
I was trembling all over.
He replied so calmly
Please stop trembling
I am not going to hurt you.
Yes, I do want my tooth back.
I took his tooth off my neck slowly.
And handed it to him
With my back facing him.
Turn around
Look at me!
When I did
I saw in his claw was a dragon tooth.
A highly jeweled dragon tooth.
For you
So you can remember me.
I wear his tooth everyday.
Now and again I see his shadow.
