So are some men, even if dressed for after-six affairs. I wonder if the dragon confines his affairs to after-six. Nifty alliteration with "dapper dragon." That's quite an illustration of the dragon, so formally attired. Nevertheless, he's still a dragon. Great fun. judi

Dear Bill,

I like the alliteration in your poem. This Komodo Dragon dressed up in a tux maybe dapper but as you say not dangerous. (LOL) They do look sinister, don't they?

Warm regards,

Winslow

A gorilla dressed in a thousand dollar tuxedo is just a well dressed animal that can and most likely will pull your arms off and beat you with the bloody stumps. Do not get it twisted, the clothes, no matter how fancy, do not change the nature of the one wearing them

I thought that clothes make the man?

reply by nomi338 on 02-Sep-2018

Clothes make a man look a certain way. As a man thinks, so does a man act. That is the true measure of the man.

LOL, so true, Bill. A dragon is a dragon no matter how much he's dressed up to look like a gentleman.

Still really enjoying your series, so keep 'em coming.

Lol. That's a great picture! I like the suit and tie on the dragon which conjures up so many things it could be a metaphor for whether in business or politics, yes, "still dangerous."

What a great picture. Did you draw it?

He's all dressed up but still dangerous. Don't be fooled by appearances. A dapper dragon is still a dragon.

Your 5-7-5 is excellent. Illustrated and composed perfectly, Bill. The meaning can be applied to any situation for a sly person (or komodo) to be weary of. Marilyn

Good job, Bill, with your 575. All syllable are correct per line. The picture is a great one to pair with your words, too. You are right. Fancy clothes can't hide what's within. Thanks for sharing. Jan
