Constant Ponderings Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan
Constant Ponderings
A ptero-dactosaurus in the prae-historic past
is in fact an ordinary reptile at last
far in the earliest of history a very huge reptile
constantly flying but only for a while
its sort refers to a now-extinct group
of winged reptiles known as pterosaur-group
I remember the Greek pteron,
also the Greek wing and on
daktulos, meaning finger,
although no dinosaurs, that linger on my finger
this flying reptile thrived during these periods
often seen among the dinosaurs in movies as flying idiots
these are constant ponderings
to those periods
where these flying idiots
may have flown and spread their wings

these are constant ponderings to those periods where these flying idiots may have flown and spread their wings. The DISTANCE between these two couplets are too wide/great. Till now I cannot correct these. I dislike mistakes.
remember the Greek pteron, also the Greek wing and on, ........ this is one cuplet and not two different lines
Just published and there are TWO great mistakes (not by me!) . Dunno HOW to correct this. This is very irritating for me to KNOW that.
