Welcome to withavee.co.uk
Because it has always been
Stevenson, with a “V”

For many years I have taken pleasure in the writing of poetry and occasionally performing it at local Folk Clubs.

I hope you will get at least a little pleasure from this

There be Dragons …

If I ask you to draw me a Unicorn
I guess that I know what I’d get
For despite it’s mythical qualities
The design features are pretty well set

But a Dragon, now that’s something different
Wild ideas, I’m sure they abound
All sizes for sure, all colours and shapes
Depends where your first one was found

The supermodel, all slender and grace
Is the dragon you’d design on a whim
All moonlight caught on its metallic scales
And wings with a translucent skin

There’s short and there’s dumpy that struggles to fly
A bellowing voice, like a tenor
That crashes through buildings in the dead of the night
And sets off a frightening earth tremor

There’s huge and there’s tiny, there’s big and there’s bold
There’s the dragon that wakes you in the night
That passes through keyholes, before filling the room
You don’t stand a chance in a fight

The nostrils that smoke as it breathes in and out
Belch flames when its temper is lost
A tail with a spike, to catch you off guard
For sure, in the air you’ll be tossed

So let’s draw a dragon, yes everyone here
And give it some scale when you do
And I wouldn’t mind betting real money
