Astronauticals

From huge pterodactyls 
and the chaos that comes from fractals 
we now boldly resolve 
that we must soon evolve 
into '*****astronauticals.'

Prehistoric Tableau

A steaming forest: 
pterodactyls soar,
and tall dinosaurs 
eat leaves from high trees 
as huge predators
prepare to attack.

describing a picture in a book I remember loving as a child

written 15th March for Joseph's Tableau contest

Premium Member The Iguana -- But Not In a Blizzard

The iguana is certainly a popular lizard
To figure out why doesn't take a wizard

With that spiky mane curving down its back
It looks like a stegosaurus who went off track

I myself prefer pterodactyls to lizards
To guide me home when lost in a blizzard

Premium Member Pterodactyls In My Living Room

Pterodactyls in my living room?
or ordinary cranes? I love their colorful language
Some might not see them
But luckily I do
Surely the non-seers can hear them though.
The squawking continues
getting louder every second
I am okay with that and others do not seem to hear anyway
Having dog ears is a gift of the few

Somewhere

I’m inside the night
Twirling my thumbs
Watching moths 
About my head
Beating soft wings
Against things.

I’m outside the day
Wiping sweat from
The back of my neck
Watching pterodactyls 
Beating their huge 
Wings like heavy plastic
Against the scorching air.

I’m inside my bed
Turning occasionally
Imagining the breath
Of a vast ocean one
Thousand yards below 
Me and the damp salty
Air wets my face and ears.

I’m beneath the clay
Dreaming I’m alive.
