Michael Crichton wrote about fossils and bits of dinos preserved in amber as the basis for reviving (or re-creating) old-time critters.
ReplyDeleteAmber, a hard, translucent substance, was once composed of viscous syrups or…
“Coats of Gum…”
That famous novel
upended thoughts of cloning
fossils. Scary thoughts.

"Election Selection"
ReplyDeleteThe elderly candidate was famous,
so his election created much fuss.
His followers were keen to defend him
and prevent any efforts to upend him.
His opponents did their best to jostle
young voters to consider him a fossil.
And in the midst of all this squabble
the candidate was featured in a novel.
This made the election loads of fun
for the candidate's supporters, and he won.
I could have done Wordle in four guesses, but I avoided the duplicate letters. I should have known!
ReplyDeleteI see FLN that WC had the same problem.
Back later
Flirting with a dangerous topic, eh, Misty?
ReplyDeleteI mean Politics, of course.
But I guess it's all right, since you don't mention parties and you keep your narrator-opinion to yourself.
As I was reading your poem, I felt my tribal identity kicking in.
Your "elderly candidate" is old--and, by golly, so am I!
He is considered "a fossil." And I am too!
As your piece went on, I couldn't help but identify.
Clever poet that you are you saved my...
er, his--
or, um,
I mean OUR Victory until the very end!
Brilliant!

Catch Me If You Can
ReplyDeleteThe famous novelist
Became a fossilist,
Upending loads of shale,
And sorting with his pail.
It was more fun
Than anything he had done!
OMK- “cloning fossils” and memories of my kids watching (and Re watching) Jurassic Park. I was petrified, and they just laughed.
ReplyDeleteMisty- how great that your candidates’s experience was recognized, and he was re-elected.
OMK- you did well to solve Wordle in five guesses after your first two rows!
Thanks, CEh!
ReplyDeleteThat's what makes Wordle so easy. Once we get on track (which usually takes one or two tries) it's a slide into home.
I liked the simplicity of your poem. The rhymes & rhythms are natural, and the sentiment--a mature novelist reverting to childhood--is sweet.
Thank you for it!
