EXTINCT ANIMALS

a trio of strange animals
you'd miss them if you blinked
in older days, quite plentiful
but now they are extinct
.
the first was the dilemma
never knew which way they'd run
considering an option
as they chose the other one
.
although they walked all night
there will be no more early morns
there are no more dilemmas
though at times, you find their horns
.
the hype we mention second
they were big and overblown
far off, they seemed like giants
but up close, just overgrown
.
the hype will not recover
we won't hear its mighty blast
although you may hear rumours
all the days of hype has passed
.
the grudge we've saved for last here
though its shadow still looms wide
the species was so poisonous
they fed upon one's pride
.
but we're not holding grudges
not in trap or any pen
for we shall never see the likes
of grudges once again
.
a trio of strange animals
dilemma, grudge and hype
i'm glad that they have gone away
for we don't need their type

Clever poem Alvin.

You know I've just been writing about strange creatures on another world and it's amazing what you can come up with if you put your mind to it.

I'm inclined to agree with you,  that some creatures are best left in the past.

Just glad the dinosaurs arn't still around.  Ha...ha!

Thanks for sharing this poem.

Jenny.
