Ropen

Is ropen real or imaginary?
Some say yes others to contrary
If it does exist is it something extraordinary
Does something bizarre fly at the edge of the mountains or rivers tributary? 

Pterosaur from another time
Would such discovery be as sublime?
As would suggest depth of the mist covering mountains natives climb
Could such a beast survive in New Guinean clime?

Will its bioluminescent lights lead the expedition?
To find this strange creature who seems to be on a mission
To be supreme, perfect, and unique words accurately used only in fiction
 Having meaning not to something in particular only to their own definition
