This is ThornyEnglishRose 's prize for placing first in Memnalar 's All Hallows Tales Monstrosity contest - WINNERS - All Hallow's Tales 2017. Check out her winning entry here:
The brief was a green dragon with the cinnamon horns. Since I last looked, my usual chainmail supplier has gotten in a load more lovely shades of green, and I couldn't resist buying some. You can't tell from the photo, but this dragon also has a gold belly - and not just from hoarding those Christmas chocolate coins...!
Song of the MapinguariYou talk of me and shake with fear,
For I am monstrous – so you say,
My dread approach you cannot hear,
So I may be there, night or day,
To hunt and find and catch and eat
Your cattle (well, they are a treat),
With second mouth on underside
(Or so some storyteller cried)
And arms so long they reach the sky
And claws as long as you are wide
And just one eye.
You tell how, like a bear, I rear
And, like a wolf, I howl and bay,
My putrid smell when I am near,
My claws that slice, and rip, and flay...
Well yes, they do – I do eat meat,
I am not made to live on wheat,
But you forget, I've never eyed
A human being's silverside,
And would you be surprised that I
As well have thoughts I can't abide?
Recall my eye.
I'd have to say my vision's clear,
I am not hindered on my way,
I get by when I'm hunting deer,
And when I (please believe it) play.
And yet this occupies a seat
Inside my mind: the fear I'll meet
Some accident, or something tried,
Some hunter on a morning ride,
Some stone
