Pterodactyls Thriving
Pterodactyls Thriving
On steamy summer days as warm waves lap the shore
The pelicans pass over in perfect V-form
Their silhouettes appear dark beneath yellow sun
An eerie reminder of a species thought gone
Pterodactyls, you see, first came to mind
When as a small child I looked up to find
Winged creatures with long beaks like dinosaurs
Angular features, pteradactyl norms
I knew nothing then of evolution
But marveled at this species' procession
Casting shadows on crystal sands below
Sparking a child's imaginative flow
Watch closely; can you see the resemblance
Might pterodactyls thrive in the present tense?
Friends, at Yoni's suggestion I am providing the following link (just one of many) regarding
modern-day pterodactyl sightings:
