pteradactyl
dull metal heavy grey bird
pinkingshear shut scream and screech
coming down out of the sky
onto my head knocking me
onto the rainsplashed paindashed pavement

Thanks again Ann - I would agree with Maria - that is a great line - also the pinkingshear shut scream and screech - not many people use pinkingshears anymore - they hold vivid memories for me - one of my brother's once cut his fringe with some - it left a dreadful mess! Isobel x
I just popped this on inspired by Isobel's daughter's poem. I wrote this one when I was fourteen. I can only remember this bit! Must have had too much toasted cheese before I went to bed the night before I wrote it I think! ;-)
