Dragons are everywhere. Beware!!!

A fairie walked along a path
The autumn air was crisp and fine
Not knowing that the dragon's cave
Was just around the unseen bend

Red yellow orange leaves did fall
Dear fairie played amongst the vine
Not knowing that she soon would meet
Her sad means nearly to an end

The dragon waited patiently
After a night of drinking wine
His need to stalk was oh so strong
Her family his message send

Fine words his mastery was known
The fairie did observe in time
His trickery turned on himself
Tied tongue unable for to mend

Dear fairie fled the darkened cave
Away from trickery and rhyme
Bright colored leaves swept fair fairie
Yellow red orange stood to fend

Dire dragon fell fairie was safe
Transformed he into mount of lime
Formation still beheld today
An eerie sight a message blend
