Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Dragons: 6 of 105
I walked the streets at night.I walk, silence dripping from every corner.Foot falls echo. There is not light.I turned when I thought I heard a a growland there before me was a dragon of the night.It had no wings, none that can be seen,its eyes a sinister gleam.It smiled a smile, a terrifying smile,its teeth, long with silvery...

It was one of those moments that you really would not try to remember, but definitely one of those moments you are sure you will never forget.

I have been to England for a ten-day study trip once and as a Singaporean, who eats, breathes and drowns in a plethora of Asian and Western cuisines(Singaporeans have a known habit of discussing where to eat dinner...during lunch), I was looking forward to try something distinctly different.
