Ovine Titanosaur
A lost sheep led a farmer
toward discovery: broken
through terrestrial skin,
a thigh bone of Earth’s once-
roaming, largest dinosaur
Titanosaur
(there is only one
rank above the Titan)
There is precedence in
looking for the lost,
lone sheep
Stored wisdom and
insight add to the
task and treasure while
reconstructing ages
So, too, does one grower
looking for one charge—
one smaller creature, seeking
green, having turned away,
now only wanting home

Thanks! I figure when the largest dinosaur is found by someone looking for a single sheep, that’s a story worth sharing. In this case, I suppose David doesn’t fight Goliath–David finds Goliath. Hope you’re really well!
