A Jaw Dropping Experience

Went to the ROM last weekend

The Royal Ontario Museum

An absolute and total eye opener for sure

We, with our sophisticated smugness

With our feeling of superiority

Emboldened by today's amazing technological advances

Need to stop and take a look back

At the achievements of these artisans

From centuries gone by

Of generations with totally amazing skills

Without the aid of of today's modern  technology

To help them in their endeavours

Just their hands and their inventive minds

The results of which were astounding

I stood there in awe

It was a totally mind blowing experience

Everyone needs to take a break and look back

It makes us realize what great things

The human mind has always been capable of

It was a jaw dropping experience!

Carol Eastman Date: 4/1/2014 9:23:00 AM Jaw Dropping and inventive. Sounds like the people on PoetrySoup! Us poets should have a museum, too! Tho probably only kids on field trips and other poets would attend. Dragon wants his own museum of course, for self made heroes on the wing... He naturally expects to be the first you see and wants a statue to display that he's so mighty! I told him it would take a backing and charitable contributions... Had to stop him from going door to door... He's way to imposing... and would scare them all! Login to Reply Jack Ellison Date: 4/2/2014 6:43:00 AM Well our museum was certainly well attended. Mostly by families with parents exposing the young 'uns to the amazing history of the human race! I was soooo impressed! XOXOXOX

Russell Sivey Date: 4/1/2014 7:12:00 AM Yes, there have been some truly miraculous achievements in history, and yes, those without the modern technology that we have now days, which really makes them that much more incredible! This poem is surely remarkable my friend! I truly loved reading this lovely poem here this morning! What a glorious piece, Great Work!!
