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

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?

Its wild and woolly outside tonight

The wind is blowing a mighty gale

The trees are loudly whispering sweet nothings

Or whistling mournful tales


The rain is indecisive 

Spasmodic in small bursts

The thunder lazy and quietly rumbling

No desire or energy to exert

Jabba the hut? Is that the best you can do?
I’ve been called a lot worse by better than you.

You say that I’m portly, then call me a troll.
No soup for you! Now give back your bowl.

I’m just kidding, offended I’m not.
Just let your bowl sit, I’m sure it’s too hot.

I had hoped that your break

Sumatran Rhinos

Sumatran Rhinos are listed as, critically endangered
and are now classified as, “functionally extinct”
as they are only seen in zoos, for their genes to be preserved
but the death of two subspecies, makes them so distinct

Sumatran Rhinos used to live, on Borneo and Sumatra islands
and are the smallest, of the living Asian Rhinos
These Rhinos have two horns,

Premium MemberWoolly Bear

On my walk I came across a Woolly Bear Caterpillar
It was walking across the street
I picked it up to move it off the road, hoping it would be ok
This caterpillar curls up in a ball for protection
Later it will be the Isabella Tiger Moth
I haven't seen one in a while but they are a sight

Premium MemberA Woolly One

It was from the early 1800s
This phrase was first used
I'm sure it has other meanings
So please don't get confused
If your understanding of the term
Was just like mine
I thought "to pull the wool over someone's eyes"
Were the eyes of the woolly ovine
I thought this terminology
Was clever and quite cool
It seemed very logical
As the sheep supplies the

Woolly Wolf

Mixologist witch. You serve a drink but with a nasty twist. You said you despair, as you’ll so easily break a pair? Never a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down, always a spoonful of saccharine to help the poison go deep. adVICE that comes so cheap, it’s only your self-centering.
You mix your

A Banded Woolly Bear

A Banded Woolly Bear

Quiet road.
Autumn sun,
Parting leaves;
Warm light pools.

An earnest Woolly Bear
Crossing, pool to pool,
Urgently cautious,
Towards some important thing!

No bird notices, no car yet,
No winter yet.
Just an earnest Wooly Bear
Alone, towards something important.

What importance I cannot know,
On the silent road, for now.
Looking down, I wish the Woolly Bear well,
And hurry on.

Woolly and Wild

Wool like textured hair,
Vibrant and cleaned with care,
Thick coloured lashes,
Looks very dashing,
On the pale and blemish free skin,
Sweet & unconsuming,
Life laid bare,
Cleaning that nose ring must be a nightmare,
But no time to sit and stare,
There is a whole wide world out there to glare,
I am off to join the fun fair.
