* * * LAND OF THE FALLEN DINOSAUR * * *

Walking thru' Forest Park this morning, surveying more of the tornado wreckage:

Where once you stood, massive
You now stand no more
In the land of the fallen
Dinosaur.

As a girl, I climbed
Your growing branches
Not once to consider
What were the chances…

That a mighty wind gust
Would one day take you down
Bringing your majesty
To the ground

No more to shade
No more to shelter
No more to shield
From the hot summer swelter

Every trace of you gone now
Yet, the wounds remain raw
In the land of the fallen
Dinosaur.

But what noble demise
The vast CRACK…
Your last ROAR…
In the Land of the Fallen
Dinosaur.
