Dinosaur

Rating: 5.0


Those long dead reptiles
residing in my garage
that perfect Mustang
that brings me to that cafe
where seniors will still shoot pool

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Maybe a tanka in form, but it seems to want to be something else in spirit. This is from a memory, from just this last summer.

Ok, so it seems you own, or at least drive, a perfect Mustang. [car or horse? ] but i want to know MORE about the reptiles. T. Rex? or some of the 'less-known': Psittacosaurus, Shantungosaurus, & Therizinosaurus And those who drink coffee? bri :)
