SENRYU on a DRAGON DAWN

A Dragon-Scorched Sky

Beseeching dragon crepuscular and brooding craves his valentine.

Dragon dalliance meddles with her misgivings his chivalry woos.

Never could resist a fire-breathing abyss a lip-scorching kiss.

Why not juggernaut sliding sinuous dragon beast dominatrix.

Board that dragon train ride ’til his scales be poppin’ her saddle smolders.

Dragon dons fervor he’s roaming to the gloaming on a vision quest.
