In caverns of the skies
broken nuts scattered their prize
dawn-bright baby dragons blue
between the fleece-clouds flew
to grab their sun-crowned delight
which storks and eagles’ flight
brought upwards where they grew
and sometimes they even knew
to breathe a warm “thank you”!

David,
How else can they stay camouflaged? Of course their Dads are a very stern red and their Moms change color from moment to moment. Well, what do you expect when they’ve got naughty blue dragons? 💖

It helps to be camouflaged except when those nasty missiles and sonic jets come screaming through.

Dora,
It’s uncanny how the word ‘crown’ led us both to noble birds.
Your poem is uplifting, though.
I enjoyed it!
Peace,
