Ditchdiggerosaurus

The earth shook with vibrations
dust rose and then settled
around the yellowbrown bulk
of the monstrous thing,

it grunted and growled
as it chewed and ate
then the sound of its feeding
changed to a screeching,

and it slowly reared
its ugly scabrous head
it seemed to stare at me
its jaws still dripping,

grass, dirt, and stone
freshly cropped from its feeding place. . .
