Rex

A “Tyrant-Of-Sorts “

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 16 days ago Updated 15 days ago 1 min read

Rex was a wild one violent and mean

No one dare to challenge him, when on a rampage

The whole house would rumble when he was angry.

A man with his temper should be kept in a cage

He bit like a raptor when he felt double crossed

She bore the scars, like tattoos on her skin

She succumbed to the reality that all had been lost

He made sure she would never forget she was his

He roared and he growled intimidating her daily

Not once did she ever try to escape

She knew if she did, everyone would pay dearly

A “tyrant of sorts” with a dinosaurs name
