    On your profile I noticed you have "enlist in the army (maybe)" on the list of things you want to accomplish. I'm really curious, why is that a goal of yours?

    Probably one of the mods looked at the front page and decided that it could do with a tidy. Especially since Brandon has soooooo many books that all need their own subforums, which takes up a lot of space.

    Anyway we are no longer a sub-sub-forum, heck yeah! It's gonna be weird not being below General Discussion though.

    A poem! "Dragons", by Devin Johnston.

    Spoiler
    We gathered in a field southwest of town,
    several hundred hauling coolers
    and folding chairs along a gravel road
    dry in August, two ruts of soft dust
    that soaked into our clothes
    and rose in plumes behind us.
     
    By noon we could discern their massive coils
    emerging from a bale of cloud,
    scales scattering crescent dapples
    through walnut fronds,
    the light polarized, each leaf tip in focus.
     
    As their bodies blotted out the sun,
    the forest faded to silverpoint.
    A current of cool air
    extended from the bottomlands
    an intimation of October,
    and the bowl of sky deepened
    its celestial archaeology.
     
    Their tails, like banners of a vast army,
    swept past Orion and his retinue
    to sighs and scattered applause,
    the faint wail of a child crying.
    In half an hour they had passed on
    in search of deep waters.
     
    Before our company dispersed,
    dust whirling in the wind,
    we planned to meet again in seven years
    for the next known migration.
    Sunlight flashed on windshields
     
    and caught along the riverbank
    a cloudy, keeled scale
    about the size of a dinner plate,
    cool as blanc de Chine
    in the heat of the afternoon.
