Tall and thin <br />and chicken-limbed, <br />her beady eyes bespectacled, <br />reflected primordial times <br />when she, a prehistoric bird, <br />stood out among the glazed rocks <br />and screeched her praise to <br />God. <br /> <br />Her balding head, <br />her scraggy hair <br />that fell about her sunken face, <br />was faded like her satin dress; <br />and hungry, as her scrawny throat <br />rose from the knotty nest, her pew, <br />she fed on Christian <br />love.<br /><br />Tan Pratonix<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/archaeopteryx/
