Small they may be and
terrified of the grotesque apparition
hovering above them
but their courage cannot be questioned.
The monster's heated exhalations
flames spewing horrendously
all threats to the very existence of
other creatures less powerful
but theirs is the spirit of unconquered
heroism and they are prepared
to surrender their lives
for the greater purpose of
saving ours. And so eyes on the heavens
daring the fire-breathing dragon
to descend and confront them directly
where sharp teeth and claws
await attack. Two little
poodles, panicked but fearless
wait to confront the majestic
hot-air balloon that has no intention
whatever of interrupting its
serene passage in the clear blue
ocean of a winter day.
