I used to dwell in darkness
The shadows were my friends
For eons and then some, no less
My plights came to no ends
+
When light ones crossed my path
I’d growl at them and turned away
How desperate I clung to my wrath
My burden, my dismay
+
Sometimes I caught a glimpse of light
On a dark one in despair
I scoffed at them and at their plight
I seemed beyond repair
*
Into the swamp, till death do us part
That’s where I thought I’d stay
Until a shimmer got stuck on my heart
And I couldn’t wipe it away
+
By then, I longed to follow that light
So I crawled out of my misery
Into the new, and thrived
The rest is history.
*************
Poem in October is a well-known one by Dylan Thomas. How surprised was I that my dragon insisted on giving his poem the same title.
Until I re-read the first one and discovered that they had much in common.
*************
This is a reaction to Poem in October by Dylan Thomas, who crawled out of his misery and wrote his first positive one! This poem was my best friend’s favourite. The dragon wanted this title for our poem, I objected to it, but he insisted and had me look up what Dylan Thomas experienced in his life; poverty, bad marketing, having lack and an alcohol problem. I had all of this, except the alcohol issue (which my best friend had for some years).
Patricia Isabella sent me this video by Jack Morrigan, who works with a team of dragons. And I am grateful for it, for I had forgotten the contact with my personal dragon for a bit! So my dragon came through and urged me to cocreate this poem with him.

Jack tells us that we tend to cling to our misery. Step out of that kind of co-dependency, is the message of the dragons!
