Hit by a Stegosaurus Tail
the den is as dark as the inside of a witch’s hat, macabre as can be
someone with a green face and pointed nose sits across from me
her nose gives a twitch, there is too much make up around her eyes
her hat is pointed with inverted peak at the top, no big surprise.
my partner is dressed

feeding my stegosaurus
my stegosaurus lurks in the bushes
hiding from the neighbors, because he is shy
fearful of their ridicule and prying questions
trusting only me, which makes me feel terrific
I toss celery, tomatoes and radishes his way
he throws them in the air before he gulps them down
the neighbors do not question what I am doing
they are fearful of me,

Wild Willie my Stegosaurus
outside, I usually I keep my stegosaurus Wild Willie hidden,
but if I shriek he comes at a gallop, feeling validated and bidden.
Police have come twice, called by my neighbor Sam, who is full of fright.
I laugh, asking who has ever seen a real dinosaur, right?
Willie cannot got to work with me, because I work

Believe this or not, this huge creature’s brain was….
the size of a small walnut, weighing two and a half ounces.

Steve, the Thoughtful Stegosaurus
Steve the Stegosaurus seemed an awful grumpy fellow,
All he did was stomp about, and how he roared and bellowed.
All the other dinosaurs knew he was around,
The noise he made was deafening, and tremors shook the ground.
Danny the Diplodocus said he'd have a word,
For Steve the Stegosaurus, was acting quite absurd.
He said " tell me Steve,

Stegosaurus
I was on a bus for hours once
So I celebrated the dawning of our friendship
By texting you nicknames for yourself
To give us a shared something that required the simple maintenance of memories and smiles.
"Stegosaurus."
When things fall apart later, I examine the evidence,
Like fossils, in diorama, under glass.
The science of friendship is faith.
It's missions
(Can I trust
