Prehistoric Living

https://m.soundcloud.com/user-921599710/prehistoric-living https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5VwGcl83qeo They roamed the earth with supreme distinction Evolution prior mass extinction Of giant forms, dominate thy land Exceptional findings to understand To recover and discover, fossils of old To reconstruct, reform the mould Fine tools to chip, we hammer away Extracted fossils, in rocks they lay Science of discovery, working replica Evidence of skin and that of feather The Mesozoic era, before catastrophe Continents found, thy land and sea Furry mammals, reptiles of the time Dazzling dinosaurs crawling from the slime Non-flowering trees, appearing tall Conifers and mosses, plants of all The varied forms, at the least complex The Titanosaurus, Tyrannosaurus rex The Kronosaurus, beneath thy wave Seizing for prey, beneath the cave Born to adapt, hunters of the sky Beak-like jaws of which to reply Folded wings, yet stood to train The great survivors that now remain Written by Geraldine Taylor ©

Nicely rhythmic and evocative of a prehistoric world. Well done! There is too little poetry reaching back into deep time. This is a good effort to put that right.
