Smaug the Magnificent
#6 of Poems
Went to see The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug at the movie theater today and I loved it. I especially loved Smaug because dragons are awesome. I haven't seen the first movie, I haven't seen Lord of The Rings, and I haven't read any of the books, but I was so inspired that I just had to write a poem about Smaug. Although I will be watching the movies and reading all the books after this. I did some research to make sure I got things right so I hope someone likes it!
Smaug the Magnificent
Who dares rouse the dragon? The terrible drake who sleeps on beds of gold? Who dares come close the mighty lord? The dreadful beast who breath is molten flames?> Who dares defy the king under the mountain? Who is bold enough to steal from his hoard?> Show yourself thief! Come closer. Come into the light. You dare to come this far. Come where Smaug the Terrible can see you.> Will you brave the wrath of a king? The one whose scales are like a shield of iron? His teeth are swords, his claws are spears. His tail is a thunderbolt and the sound of his wings like those of a hurricane.> Should you live long enough to see his fiery breath then you will stare down the throat of death itself.> Come to Erebor if you dare. Come all of you! Come face the beast of fire.> Stare into his golden eyes and see if the tales of his glory ring true.> Look into the eyes of a dragon who has lived for centuries and leveled great fortresses of stone.> See the iron-like scales of Smaug who drove even the dwarves from their home.> He is fire and he is death. His breath will be the last you see and his voice the last you hear.> Come into the light if you dare and see Smaug the magnificent, the terrible, the tyrannical.> Will you run away? Or will you stand and fight? Will anyone live to tell the tale of the great dragon's might?> His eyes know every coin and even the smallest of gems. Nothing goes unnoticed by the king not even the smallest stolen trinket.> You will not stop him with swords or axes. A rain of black arrows is useless in the hands of whose aim is not true.> Pour upon him a sea of gold and even still Smaug will arise into the night to take revenge on those who dare to defy him.> He is fire. He is death. He is king under the mountain.> So come closer. Come into the light. Stare into the eyes of death. See the serpent whose body burns with fire.> Gather your courage.> Gather your arrows.> Steady your aim.> Prepare for the fight for your lives.> Prepare to face death itself.
