SHOVEL DINOSAURUS, by ROGER L. WARING First Line: A shovel dinosaurus feeds her brood Last Line: From which, with groans and squeals, a building hatches. Subject(s): Buildings & Builders | ||||||||
A shovel dinosaurus feeds her brood: With steel crowned teeth she crunches cliffs of clay With which to fill their mouths. They whirl away, Whisk empty back, insatiable for food. She ruffles, whirls and clucks, "Hiss, whir-r-r. Hill, shir-r-r." Snorts fiercely, spouting clouds of steam and fire. Chug-chugging young that never seem to tire Spin rubber feet about the flanks of her. Deep in the cheese of earth a hole she scratches, A crater of a nest in which to lay Square shells of wood with fluid yolks of grey From which, with groans and squeals, a building hatches. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BUILDINGS by WENDELL BERRY INCONGRUOUS BUILDERS by AIME CESAIRE HAIL TEESSIDE! by CECIL DAY LEWIS BUILDING A PAINTING A HOME by BOB HICOK OBSTETRICS OF A BUILDING by ROGER L.
