Dug up by the mind,
Simple as ferns gigantic
And gentle as dinosaur kind.
Take care then with fossils
Unplowed from the ground
For words never die
When once they are found.
[Undated poem by Virginia McKinnon Mann. After reading the phrase "dinosaur kind", I couldn't help but think of this poem in terms of Jurassic Park... Photo below by Choo Yut Shing.]
It's refreshing to read a more playful poem here. It almost sounds like something that AA Milne would have written.
