Nice imagery and the last line "fire of life breathing dragons" is somewhat a play on words from 'fire breathing dragons'...perhaps the fire of life is partly the fear we experience and the concomitant protection we receive.

What an amazing poem! It grabs you from the beginning as you spin the magic of the dragon throughout. I don't know if this is your unique idea about dragons being protectors and living in the flames of a candle or not, but I like it!!!

Comment from Jay Squires
Good poem that captures the mood of flickering candle-light creating a dragon.
I thought it interesting your reversal of "fire" and "life" in the next to last line. We've all heard of "fire breathing dragons, but you made it the fire of LIFE breathing dragons.
Good twist.

Comment from Dom G Robles
The first stanza creates an image that makes the writer uncomfortable. The second stanza has created some fear, seeing exotic lizards, but her protectors guard her against fears the flames burn out disappear until lit again the fire of life breathing dragons. The writer illustrated her fears pretty well. I liked the way she described them, the dragon, the lizard. It is short, a three-stanza poem but, there is beauty in her expressions. My sincere congratulations. Dom

Comment from A TARNISHED KNIGHT
How could one not be intrigued when the title speaks of Candles and Dragons. Being a Tarnished Knight I have had to slay a few of them damn dragons before and I will tell you this ..many did not come from out of a candle but they sure spit fire like a one..I am also partial to mermaids as well Good job!!

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Your poem had great imagery. I like the way you described the dragon coming out of the flames. The flow was good. The picture is awesome. It is mysterious like the flames of the candle. I like the way all of this is gone when the candle burns out, and then comes back when relit. Good job. No changes. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Alchera
Well written under the candles lit fires which exotically inspired you. Were the built up dragons red and Chinese as they smiled to you or were they of the far highlanders? I did appreciated it because you have enclosed within the candle light an image of feared living life. My best is "lit again / fire of life/ breathing dragons. Thanks for the reading
