WOOLLY MAMMOTH SAGED
[ For Contest : Ghost of Frankenstein
Sponsor : Tom Woody
submitted: 9/5/25 ]
Many starry nights I lay
in my wooden cabin next to your
sanctuary waiting for whisperings
from your past, wisdom words
I wrote odes about a nurturing
grey wrinkled body smelling of hay
overripe fruit
transferring images about your life
into quilts in dead of blue nights
your babes

A Mammoth Mistake?
"Sam Dumpty here for National Geoplastic Magazine. I am surrounded by the most prominent scientists and archeologists in the world. The occasion? The unveiling of the de-extincted wooly mammoth. To say that the level of excitement is to the moon and back would be an understatement. All have been briefed as to the science involved

I watch the sun rise and once again bring another dawn, Another day in which we are alive. I stand 30 feet above the muddy ground, on the top of our walls, at the end of my watch shift.
In the mud I see what

Beautiful Mammoth Mountain Memories
Drinking from clear, gurgling streams,
catching frogs, unfolding dreams,
without iPhones, watches or clocks,
sitting high on granite rocks -
my memory is unwinding
a young boy exploring and finding
pumice and obsidian flakes
in the mountains over Mammoth Lakes.

Willy a Wooly Mammoth
Willy, a wild mammoth lives in my yard
Shedding head all over in clumps
Neighbors come by and collect it in bales
Making comforters, pillows and plush cushions
They bring casseroles, carrots, croissants and canapes
Willy has the best life, and he knows it
Milking it for all it is worth

Mammoth Drift
Taken sideways, swept as a web strung spider
Sand sugar legged staggered specimen lured by weightless
Drifters soon to be lifted by unruly tide's violent
Fears ditched for the squall enthrall of ocean fizzed caress

M Is For Mammoth
M is for mammoth, big as a barn,
with long woolly hair that's much warmer than yarn.
He's 15 feet tall from his toes to his head,
(much too big to keep in the gardening shed)
He's got really big tusks and he weighs 13 ton,
and he stomps on saber tooth tigers for fun.
He wandered the plains munching bushes

Mammoth Undertaking
M-ammoth undertaking
E-manates from climbing a hill;
A-s you need faith, hope, and love to do the Lord God's will.
M-ammoth undertaking
I-s living a life on earth;
N-atural and emotional
D-isaters bring no mirth.
O-n January thirty-first, find the luck and blessing;
G-oing on in this world is a mammoth undertaking.

Trapper Dan's Mammoth, Part Iii
III.
Dan found himself between
the angry mammoth and the cliff.
He had no choice but to retreat,
though the fall his flesh would rip.
Then about six feet down he saw,
a tree growing out of the wall,
at a slanting angle he could catch,
so Trapper Dan let himself fall.
He snagged the trunk and hung,
his legs dangling free in space.
Above the

Trapper Dan's Mammoth, Part Ii
II.
Through long hills and dense forest,
Slocumb’s dogs pulled the sleigh.
Faint traces of Red Billing’s trail
guided Dan along the way.
He found the frozen Indian,
torn apart by many scavengers.
He said then a silent prayer,
since he couldn’t bury him in frozen dirt.
Another day of searching long,
and by a stream he found, at last,
a small gap in a long
