keeping watch for dragons #5– river dragon
It’s like getting an old song stuck in your head… I am now seeing dragons… everywhere.
Yesturday, as I crossed the bridge on the way to my work, I saw the piers of the old bridge and their reflections in the water. To me they were the protruding plates along the spine of a river dragon, resting in the water.
Have you seen any dragons lately?

eight bevelled piers
(only remains of the old bridge)
idle in still water, reflections rigid
plates along the spine of a spent dragon
lolling on his side
taking a break in the river

I see signs of them around here too. That is a beautiful river dragon spine. 🙂

The last thing I saw resting in the water was an alligator!

Hi Barbara. I went to your site and I see what you mean. Actually their back spines do look like the abandoned piers in the river. Jane

Jane, now that you have opened up the image of the old bridge piers being the spine of a (hopefully friendly, sleeping) dragon, I wonder if I’m going to start seeing dragons myself in unexpected places!

Hi Jane. On your runs, you may see them in the onlookers, cheering you on!! Do you know the New Brunswick Doctor who did so well in the recent marathon? Jane
