Dragon gets a letter from his friend Victoria, a T-Rex who is on tour at the Houston Museum of Natural Science! We travel there with Dragon to visit her and along the way learn all about dinosaurs and prehistoric reptiles. Our friends at the museum, Matti and Kelsey, lead us through a touch tour of different dino-related artifacts, show us how paleontologists identify and classify different prehistoric creatures, and teach us how to really walk like a T-Rex.

"Lullaby"   Imagine the night is one big cloud that every evening settles down soft as a pillow for that ol’ blue sky who (just like you) needs to close its eyes. Imagine the sunset’s a goodnight kiss and the earth (like you!) waits up for it. And all the colors that we can see is what their love looks like to me and you. Imagine all the stars you see are pieces of the sky’s gigantic dream and when they twinkle and fill the air it’s a special sort of dream you and I can share. Imagine the moon’s a big night light keeping dark away while you sleep tight. It’s hanging up there so far away, 'cause any closer and it’d be bright as day! And know for sure, I’ll be here close because in this wide world I love you the most!   Watch a reading on YouTube: https://youtu.be/caMRKl_HcZo © DonnieWelchPoetry 2019-2021

An energetic poem about being on the wrong end of a blue shell in Mario Kart. Mario Kart, Last Lap for Cam Blue Shell over head! Blue Shell over head!

Blue Shell over head! Only one lap left and there’s a blue shell over my head! I’m going bananas!

Donnie recites an original poem "The Feast" "The Feast"   If we met as strangers well,  I might get a hunch  that soon we’d be hungry  and have to go to lunch.   And once we did it’d be so clear  that we’re in no real rush,  so perhaps we’d get dessert— apple pie with flaky crust. Then you and I with bellies full and crumbs still in our laps might find ourselves quite ready for a delicious little nap.   And when we wake to say goodbye  it’d be quite bittersweet.  Yes, it’s fine to dine alone,  but friendship is a feast.   © DonnieWelchPoetry 2019-2021 Support Let's Write About with a tax-deductible donation: https://www.gofundme.com/f/lets-write-about Connect with the show: https://linktr.ee/LetsWriteAbout  Subscribe for a new content every week!
