“Angelic Dragons”
by Leo Jenkins
We need to beat this
Once and for all.
Not sure what it will take or entail
Now
How to defeat this sound
Deafening us all
How to step
With stride unbound
How to break apart
What makes me, me
Discard the pieces unserving
& save the ones worth praising.
Crazy was a place we flew to
On the backs of Angelic Dragons.

I love this poem! Gifted
Great work, Leo. Glad you are here.
This place needs more guys that wear flat caps…
Always so thought-provoking and tragic but where hope lives.💔❤️
Excellent! So powerful when I listen to you read the words with such depth.
Leo…I have your books…and all I can say is that it is a blessing to see you here. This poem is pure mastery. Thank you, Sir!!!
Admirable.
