Dinosaurs Defunct
For The Vocal Poemosaurus Rex Challenge But Got The Idea From Judey Kalch
Introduction
Judey Kalchik wrote a Senryū (川柳) from the Vocal Challenge, and then I thought I could do a tautogrammatical version, just to make it a little more difficult for myself. Thank you for the idea Judey.
The song is "Dinosaur" by Hank Williams Jr.

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.

I'm here once again to say I love your work
You executed this so brilliantly! Loved your Senryu!
Yeah!!! Loved it!!!❤️❤️💕
Dear Mike, I recently read your poem "Dinosaurs Defunct" and was thoroughly impressed by your clever use of tautogram and playful language. The way you succinctly encapsulated the theme with such creativity and humor was delightful. Your tribute to dinosaurs, combined with the rhythmic and repetitive nature of the words, made the poem both memorable and enjoyable. Thank you for sharing this fun and imaginative piece. Best regards, Dr. Jay
Very clever! Liked this short but sweet senryu a lot, Mike!
