Title: The Dragonets' Poem
Fandom: Wings of Fire series [Book #1, The Dragonet Prophecy, Tui T. Sutherland]
Length: 130
Poetic Form: A very loose variation on a sonnet.
Rating: Gen
DW 100 Fandoms prompt: 032. hope

Beneath the mountain, kept well out of sight,
the dragonets of destiny are hid.
An odd assortment hatched on brightest night
to bring to pass what prophecy has bid.

Escape the only choice to save their own,
yet freedom is but briefest of respite.
Exchanging prison old for one unknown,
they learn about the world, themselves, their fight.

They win together, but when battle’s done,
they splinter, each electing different course.
Bittersweet homecoming awaits the one;
choosing family found, he returns in force.

These dragonets are the heroes of whom the songs are sung;
these dragonets are the stars upon whom much hope is hung.
But these dragonets have their own hopes, guarded in scaly breasts,
And these dragonets will forge their own fates and find grails to their own quests.
