Wild joy in wing wind,

knees gripping scales, I escape

astride Saphira.

A/N: Saphira is a dragon who bonds with her rider, the young Eragon, in the book series by Christopher Paolini.

About the Creator

Sonia Heidi Unruh

I love: my husband and children; all who claim me as family or friend; the first bite of chocolate; the last blue before sunset; solving puzzles; stroking cats; finding myself by writing; losing myself in reading; the Creator who is love.

    Not read those books, but your words are always captivating enough without full context. Great haiku, Sonia!
