Be Warned...
Write a short piece that ends with an ambiguity that, preferably, features oncoming dangers.
A warning
If ye go seeking dragons,
Beware their wandering eyes.
For who can quite tell what they mean,
And what in your gaze they'll spy?
They will lead you, begging gold,
Deep into their twisted lairs,
Where secrets lie with countless gems.
But who can tell the meaning of a silent dragon's glare?
Their treasures are beyond whatever you could think,
Deep beneath the sleeping earth
But who can tell what a drake could give,
And with eyes gleaming with mirth?
Beware a dragon's mouth, my boy,
Beware thier soft-edged words.
They will tell you many truths,
But who could mark their lies like birds?
Beware a dragon's eyes, if seeking them you go
Keep the truth within your head,
For while they turn you with their praise,
And their teeth you could be dead.
