Dinosaurs, by bedazzled Subscribe to rss feed for bedazzled

Do you know
  she asked me
about the dinosaurs?
  her eyes gleaming,
  her hair full of glitter.
What about them?
  I asked her
  and she reached up,
  through her world of stars,
  taking the hovering question mark.
Well
  she told me
no one knows
what colour they were
  letting the words
  bounce
  off her tongue
  and stretch
  'round my empty sky.
What colour
do you think they were?
  I asked her
  and she told me
  through her helium giggles
purple!
  She jumped,
  elastic with delight,
  glitter cascading
  and rainbow trails
  everywhere.
What colour
do you think they were?
  she asked me,
  narrowing her eyes
  at my non-existent
  constellations.
Hmmmmm
I think,
I think they had...
polka-dots!
  and with that
  she curled over
  in curves of laughter
  and then she gave me
  a star.
