my tribute to Anne McAffrey
Dragon, dragon, heart so bold Dragon, dragon, wings of gold Dragon rise, and dragon flies Hunts, hurts, sings and cries O dragon love, O dragon mine, Be with me for all of time.
Dragon, dragon, eyes so clear Dragon, dragon, love of Weyr, Love of my life, part of me Bring me to heaven; set me free O dragon dear, O dragon mine, Be with me for all of time.
Dragon, dragon, faint dawn glow Dragon, dragon, soft as snow Mind so bright, with heart so true Love so pure, each day is new O dragon dear heart, dragon mine, Be with me for all of time.

Pardon my ignorance, but who is A. Mc.?
I like the poem, though...the rhythm works very well.

Anne McAffrey is a well known science fiction and fantasy writer. One of her more famous series was the Dragon Riders of Pern, it's really good.

but.. that all sprung from the Talent series! it is the Talents that act as a spring board for humans to colonize the stars.. and that is where Pern comes in.. one of the colonized stars, with abslutely no link whatsoever to Earth, and there's the Crystal Singer Series, (i want to be in the Heptite Guild.. Ballybran sounds like FUN) and the Acorna Series, and the shellship series all good stuff but i have to say, the Pern series is by far the best.. which is probably why out of the 70odd books she has written.. there are about 25 about Pern

mercedes lackey is good, but i like anne mccaffrey better.... i will eventually read all her books.. tally is currently....30/75.. i'm getting there!!!
wonder if hammel would let me use this as part of my poetry set.. it has rhyme and a somewhat consistent meter, stanzaic structure, and a refrain... heck, i'm done.. save for the one or two components not in there
