Teratology Poem by Douglas Scotney
Teratology
By combining Greek words,
'winged monsters' are 'pteroterata'.
All pterosaurs,
including pterodactyls
and pteranodons,
are pteroterata.
The fish-like pterichthys
and the scorpion-like pterygotus,
though aquatic,
have wing-like features,
so qualify as pteroterata too.
Pteroteratos-ptomae - a fitting end -
are the corpses of these creatures.
teratology = study of abnormal growths; a collection of fantastic monsters.
The fish-like pterichthys and the scorpion-like pterygotus, ..You have given amazing information in this poem.
