Best Fossil Poems

What was real and alive, is now real and a trace. 

A motionless image of motion, or not. It might be a record of rest, a pause to see where one is, is going, or has been. A rest to make sure that one is...

Fossil on the floor…
On his BMX he’d roar
Free style dinosaur...

I found a fossil hiding 
near something overgrown,
a historical handprint etched 
in a slab of ancient stone.

I trace the imprint idly
and marvel at its design-
the grooves coil and curve around,
and then become entwined....

Fossil Worlds Yearning

I
find
fossils;
this is my
passion and calling.
But layers of strata show a
separation from them to me, telling me of deep
time passing that will never be bridged. Oh, how I wish I could go back to those past worlds!

For my dear departed friend Dr. Terrence Frest,...

A
pot plant,
this cycad-
now four metres 
wide
takes
living 
in its stride-
Kew's long-lasting
pride

Encephalartos altensteinii
brought to Kew in 1775 from SA,grows one inch a year....

Fossil Friend

Why, just the other day, or so it seems
T-Rex and I were playing by the stream
And tar pits of La Brea
I remember that day like yesterday
I’m just another fossil reminiscing 
Where my old friend fell in 
And now I visit him 
At The Page...

Our freedoms imprison us.
Even now we want more than we need,
tho' we do not yet know what we want.
We do without knowing,
we know without doing.

We do without nothing.

Scaremonger the tip of our iceberg hearts.
This is this race of a thousand false starts,
and we, the runner,...

Apostle Who Was A Fossil

Some seem to be calling me an apostle 
Who they say looks like an old fossil
With hair which is so gray as can be
And bruised body bent just like a tree

He also does look like an acolyte
Who in a cave is...

A friend once called me a living fossil
And that pretty well sums me up
Must make an effort to stay in good shape
Though I'm no longer an eager young pup

Need a purpose to get up every morning
To contribute to a daily routine
Once was a very vital...

Fossilized
Frozen in the earth
Empty shell of a man 
No sense of self worth...

A hundred years from now, will I be a fossil
Will geologists discover this warm-blooded morsel
Prey for some creature
But larger and squishier
Like a MacDonald's sweet breakfast waffle...

Dinosaur has been long forgotten
And so the truth
They are all hidden in the fossils
Of the olden days
Away from this century
Archaeologists come up with fossils
But deep hidden truth still not found
So wars, chaos, racism, terrorism, Hegemony, corruptions and epidemics 
Continue to burst out 
Truth found with...

If you care
to look
deep into my eyes
you will find
an empty well
and the candle
snuffed out....

Fossil, lithified archive of archaic organic entities
the engraved vestiges of geologic deluge obscure
the petrified signature of fragile existence lost
the lineage weaved by the strands of evolution.

The broken life buried in sediments of strife
covered by the debris of crumbled time past.
Even before the grave is dug...
