Poemosaurus Rex

An Acrostic Sonnet

Perchance I am still the last dinosaur

On the surface of your bedroom's ceiling

Enveloped in mystery evermore

Meandering with this ancient feeling.

O Cosmos, we were the greatest creatures

Surviving for some millions of years

Affecting all the escaping screechers

Ushering an age before the death spears.

Remember us beyond our bone arrays

Underground and within past-saving caves!

Surprised to find us, you appear always

Reminiscent of your past and next graves.

Entertainment is all we have become

X-rayed to discover one more new crumb.
