Mean rocks, Waffle fry, Jurassic park lied, and 4/18

ARTWORK by Julianna Reidell

"Mean Rocks"

I picked up a rock

Words painted on its backside:

“Put me back down bitch”


"Waffle Fry"

I thought I stepped on

A mushroom but it was just

A small waffle fry.


"Jurassic Park Lied" 

Raptors are not fast

No need for motorcycles

I’m sorry Chris Pratt.


"4/18"

Velociraptor

Takes up a full haiku line

Because they’re so cool.
