Political Intrigue

                                From The Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. LeGuin, pg 88

time                 came three against

                fire spewed

                                                                swift,

                                breath

                                                                                came from north

                                                                                                                one

                                flew up 

                                                                                talons out,

                with fire,

                                                                swooped,                       till

                                                red-lit                    glare

                                                                                                the dragon.

                                                                                                The black

                                                                                                tore free

crawling into                                                   the ruined town.

                                                                                                hands

black

scorched

                                                nor voice spoke

                                                only the waves

on the shore.

                                                                dragon-magic.
