deceptive in their delicacy
older than the dinosaurs
the fern a living fossil
Older Than Old
Stegosaurus
front yard dinosaur
mushroom scutes
on the old oak
Stegosaurus
green dinosaur
rises from the ancient earth
defying extinction
Dinosaur Birch
resting in the woods
massive muscular legs
roots her to the earth
Ancient Ones
Fern is the dinosaur
who still roams the earth
waving its dragon tail.
