Pterosaur Descendant

A rolling roar, erupts from above; echoes across the plains. The living legend, soars from craggy spires; a sacred, sky-beast. An age-old descendant; thunderbird wings, fill the clouded skies.

Sounds like something from a science fiction movie - you pack a lot into a few lines. Thank you for your kind words on the New Year! Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Thanks much. For some reason, I was feeling very prehistoric when I wrote it...(it comes with age...)
