Long Cretaceous Poems

"The Reptilian Anthropocene"



The Reptilians
war daily 
enrobed in their
stiff distinction suits
rainbow coloured badges 
pinned to their lapels
they beat their breasts 
and oily palms
profiting from all 
the soft-boiled 
foxes on the run
cerebral cortex bound
thinking they are free-willed

I feel honored, and flattered to acquaint myself (a married youthful looking sexagenarian solitudinarian from southeastern Montgomery County, Pennsylvania), yet feel awkward at jump/kick starting a rapport.

Literate lettered latitudinarian

Presents the following slapdash
higglety-pigglety bupkis, whereby reader
experiences being mentally hogtied
perusing pseudo poetic perambulation
devoid of sense and sensibility
welcoming character assassination
concerning pride of yours truly,
who merely strung together
words sharing "arian"

as their last five letters
for no...

I used to be an archaeologist,
and minored in paleontology,
had a job at a college and tenure,
Dr. Bascomb was what students called me.

I specialized much in the early years,
the emergence of civilization,
in summer I’d go and...

When I was a young child I studied ants 
I loved their formation on ground and plants.
Like tiny soldiers lined, disciplined well,
They worked hard all day, from what I could tell.

Their strength was awesome, things...

The Alamosaurus, was the last of their kind
And the Baryonyx, in the water you'll find
 
Now there's Camelotia, from a historical site
One of the largest ever, Diplodicus - now there's a sight
 
Of Elaphrosaurus so...

Long ago upon the shore, the last remaining Stegosaur
A chill wind blew where ferns once used to sway
And this may not be topical, but dinosaurs were tropical
Yet now the sky was overcast and grey

This Stegosaur...

COSMIC SCARE FOR THE HOMO SAPIENS

When Dinosaurs Inhabited The Planet

When dinosaurs roamed the earth
(T-Rexes, Triceratopses, Stegosauruses, and Brontosauruses)
Millions of years ago during the Mesozoic Era;
The land lushed green from the oxygen enriched environment,
And the lakes and oceans hued blue teeming...

You left your hollow horror buried deep...
a hollowness unfathomed as we think
about the impact that your strike would reap
and change the path of life in just a blink.

So like a programmed missile, aim precise,
you blazed...

In the semblance of my darkest

In the dark blue face was a

Swoop the Pterodactyl
Copyright Corinne Curcio July 29, 2008

I had a lot of Beanie Babies
When they were in style
Those little dust collectors
Always made me smile

But there’s a very special one
With whom I’ll never part
Reminding me of...

If your ego is capacious
Or your appetite voracious
For a plucky, pertinacious
Confidence in cherished creeds,
Then your genius, though sagacious,
Conjures arguments audacious
Never seeing they’re fallacious:
Truth be told, you’re in the weeds.

Your disease: a contumacious
Predilection for tenacious
Relics of...

She was the first to disappear
Behind the mannequin in "Quirk",
And he, from the cretaceous year
Followed like a Rex in dark.

She swallowed a tranquillizer 
And that was showing on her cheeks

Triassic, Cretaceous
Vertebrates of old
We, the winged lizards
As fossils have told
 
Membrane of skin
Legs to forth finger
Soaring on thermals
Gliding of linger
 
Genius of the sky
Us, winged creations
Master of the clouds
Its our airborne nation
 
Over green peaked...

I don't recall the dinosaur--
I can't remember back  that far.

They were Jurassic and Cretaceous.

(our own) age of reptiles

I remember
it was mainly in the Cretaceous period 
of our own age of reptiles
soon to be doomed
by the great collision

and thought about things
