Owl light paints shadow
the blackbird sings his days last song
The last lights raucous tongues
clicking, chirping and squawking
‘come along, come along!’
rousing one another to their roosts
Knowing that the night is an animal
the wolfs eye lit in the sky
creeping up through the bustling throngs
dinosaurs
Avian Dinosaurs NaPoWriMo ‘poem’ 19
Just think
The shadows that swim across the room
are dinosaurs playing out their dinosaurian sequel
Dinosaurs teacup
The wind may gush
Naysayers hush
Rain pour over us
Loss become ever present
And silence us in sentence
Lost in the prism of someone’s absence
Tears may come to pass
Despair making maps
But one must imagine
A dinosaurs teacup
That never gets smashed
Birds.
The way they run
Then hop
Screech
Then quark
Between the trees
Peering between the leaves
Going back in time
In the glint in their eyes
Reaching out
To time gone by
A flash of a dinosaur
in the blink of an eye.
Another one about the Eurasian Jay
His dinosaurian ancestry shines through
The glimmer in his eye
A hint to the wise
Feathers fluffed by the wind
Ear tufts twirled
By the hands of evolution
Screaming out to one another
To be part of the dinosaurian sequel
Blind
Why can’t you see that
Your pushing past
Dinosaurs
Who trespass
The periphery of your vision
But not the centre of your mind
Leaving giant prints behind
You, standing there
In the footprint of Argentinosaurus
The world hanging on
Waiting for you to notice
Metamorphosis
Folding it first
A butterfly ate a dinosaur
Before she burst
Into a unicorn
Frolicking in one big crater; the footprint of Argentinosaurus.
Diplodocus’s teacup
I told Diplodocus he was much too big to sit in that teacup
But sit he did
It was a tight squeeze
That much was clear to see
And he lowered his long neck down to me
“You’re wearing odd socks!” He beamed
Guffawing at the sight of me!
The bird on the wire
The bird on the wire
She hears the songs that transpire
Electricity in her feet
She knows
She’s the dinosaur
Extinction did not defeat
she’s so gigantic she eats the world and all the lights
Gorillas abysmal creations.
I draw a happy face
In my breath
Pretend until it fades
It’s my friend
His face lights up
In flashes as we go by
It’s like he’s winking
And only we know why
And next to him I draw a dog
We call him Axel
Because that’s just our style
He wears a neckerchief
Cuz he’s a cowdog in cowboy boots
He’s mysterious and he has all the best moves
I draw a stick rendition of diplodocus
We call her Dippy
She is big and can reach up to the sky
She moves clouds so the rain don’t fall from my eyes
And she’s so gigantic she eats the world and all the lights
Till all is dark
But smiley, Axel, Dippy and I
Don’t really seem to mind
Because in the dark
We remake all the greatest cowboy films
Behind our eyes.
If anyone can draw feel free to draw a gigantic Diplodocus send it here
