Dragon on my Shoulder – collection of poems for children
Long awaited collection of poems for children which I am so pleased is finally finished! Here is one of my favourites that inspired the title:
Dragon on my shoulder
I need some coffee to start me on my day
Sugar sweet and thrice time stirred
My pet curled up within my hair
Breathes warm into my ear
I smile
It warms my neck
So close its gurgle no-one else can hear
Some take sandwiches, a bit of cold rice
Their tin of caffeine or a flagon of hot tea
But I am a smuggler of dreams into work
With my little pet dragon in my briefcase
And when the day is done
And the in-tray war is won
We will ride the metal dragon home
We’ll snuggle up in front of the magic box
…I’ll toss the corn kernels into the air
…and my pet dragon will make us popcorn
