(Poem 204 for 2024 – I am writing a poem a day)

“…no war so bloody as a war between dragons.” -Rhaneys Targaryen

Brother betrays brother
in airborne battle astride
gods in the form of dragons.
Perhaps a wiser head could
tame the madness and set
things straight with the rash
youth whose lust for power
outpaces both decency and
justice, but alas, even she
cannot withstand death by
fire when both dragon and
warrior’s time has come.
Peace to Meleys and Sunfyre.
