Jurassic Punk

Poemosaurus Rex Challenge

Oi!

Note: I have been experimenting with the poems I have created for this challenge, and I have a conundrum: one limerick and two haikus (what should I submit?). There is very little chance that I will win this one, so I am going to share all three with you here.

Enjoy and critique...

-K.D.

My Limerick:

There once was a punk dinosaur.

He tried to be something more.

From leather and spikes

to something quite nice?

No...a punk's a punk: hear him roar!

*

My Haikus:

1.

Bred to live; so hard.

A short and tough existence...

How punk is that, folks?

2. (Calling this one: 'Memo to Steven')

A movie? Really?

And no dinosaur input...

Punk's not dead...we are.

Is he speaking for us or...?

    The end has been near since I was born back in the dinosaur age. You haven't won or placed in a challenge...I am shocked...not so much. Distribution of said winnings leaves questions. Cool dude dinos BTW.

  • Hahahahahha all three of them made me laugh!

    All three are fun, Kendall. But taking a poke at Spielberg is funny. Well done!

    I like the second haiku...Memo to Steven. The other two are great too---but If I had to choose? Memo to Steve! :) That's my two cents. Fine work, Sir!
