Jack Horne Poet Verse

Prehistoric Tableau

A steaming forest: 
pterodactyls soar,
and tall dinosaurs 
eat leaves from high trees 
as huge predators
prepare to attack.

describing a picture in a book I remember loving as a child

written 15th March for Joseph's Tableau contest

Sara Kendrick April 1, 2021 at 9:21 AM Reads like a good contender for the contest. I haven't looked at that contest but have seen several postings for it. It was a very scary time to live for humans I would think. Sara

Alexis Y. March 26, 2021 at 1:16 PM Hi Jack, I'm just coming back to say congratulations on your 1st place win. It was well deserved. Have a great day and weekend:-) Alexis

Paul Callus March 26, 2021 at 12:39 PM You were one of the early explorers in the Lost World, Jack! Even from a young age your imagination served you well! ~ Congratulations on your top placement, my friend // paul

Andrea Dietrich March 26, 2021 at 9:16 AM It's so interesting to see what people chose. So you were dino boy, huh? I babysat one of those!! Congrats, Jack

Joseph May March 26, 2021 at 6:04 AM Congrats on your win Jack, Very nicely done

Judy Ball March 21, 2021 at 3:04 AM Super write Jack. I can see the picture play out before me as I read. Wonderful imagery. God Bless, JB

Carolyn Devonshire March 19, 2021 at 3:12 PM What a magnificent image of the dinosaur age you paint, Jack. The brontosaurus looks big and threatening, but is actually quite gentle, so probably subject to many attacks. Best wishes in Joseph's contest! Hugs, Carolyn

Harry Horsman March 18, 2021 at 2:04 AM Oh the imagery is catered for here, Jack. brilliant verse.

Phyllis Babcock March 17, 2021 at 12:17 PM Love it Jack. Everyday my grandson does a drawing and tells me about a dino. Some days he will draw what he wants and the next he asks me what to draw. His fav the t rex. Learning lots about them. Hope all is well with you and mum. love phyl
