millions of

when the sun

and her laughter

Poetry - Acrostic

Paradise of language
Opens the wonders in your mind
Ever-lasting reel of imagination
Tricky play of words
Rhyming, limericks, and more..
Yet not extinct.

Missing Link To Being Extinct

Even after it had been extinct,
We may look for missing link;
Never sure;
Still endure,
And we would found a big kink.

Trump Stink In Sink

Trump Stink In Sink

When Trump runs water into sink,
Like everything else raises a stink;
Thought about;
Then did shout,
Am glad now that Trump is extinct.

Quetzal

Quaint multi coloured bird
Quilled feathers exotic 
Quiffed plumage quite unique
Quintessence of beauty
Queen like, monogamous 
Quavering mating call
Quixotic, soon extinct

If Weren'T For Poetry

If it weren't for poetry
my life, solitary

If it weren't for the verses,
sporadic as a volcano,
still alive,
but almost extinct...
My life would be...!

Neanderthal Revived

The lost mirror of humanity’s soul, covered by helix threads 
Or a creature who would destroy the wall of man and beast 
Who would rip apart man’s olive crown for the kingdom of nature

Pattern Like Light In a Lantern

Pattern Is Like Light in a Lantern

What you learned to find in lantern,
Was a light that has proven pattern;
Very distinct;
Not extinct;
So straight and never splattering.

Woolly Bully Mice

Huge woolly mammoths have long been extinct
Why create creatures that are to T-Rex linked? 
They were frozen in ice
Don't remake them from mice
Am I clear or should I be more succinct?

TECHNO TAKE-OVER

Technology says we’re on the brink
of human assistance being extinct
our jobs robots will do
fake people serving you
freakishly knowing each thought we think

Endangered

Euphoric animals  
Evergreen trees and bushes  
Enraptured by silence  
Excited to visit  
Exquisite forest and  
Enjoyed bliss ,that will be

dont be rude

Grandma Moses was delivered by pterodactyl today
We saw her arrive, and we grandkids all yelled hooray
Thought you were extinct! We yelled up at the bird.
Don’t be rude, said the pterodactyl. So he had the last word.

Worry

Like a boa constrictor
Coiling round its prey
Cutting off the blood supply. 
Negative emotions slowly
Squeeze out all life.
Agony and anxiety
Ultimately kills hearts.
Life is extinct.
Don't worry yourself to death.

Have a Heart From the Start

when we have a heart
always will know from the start
we would never part

we had an instinct
which we knew would be distinct
will become extinct

a mighty mishap
in buildings bodies became trapped
all over the map
