As explained in the last post, the Dinosaur Diamond is a National Scenic Byway in the states of Utah and Colorado, U.S.A. This post will show you that this area is important, not only nationally, (by the way, it is also a dynamic drive through the desert,) but is a world-leading dinosaur fossil feast-the biggest known Jurassic period boneyard on Earth!

So far, over 15,000 dinosaur fossils have been found at the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry area. It is an active dig, and they are finding more fossils even today. The bones are many different types of dinosaurs-not just omnivores nor carnivores-which puzzles us, as we were taught to believe the two did not “hang out” together, (being predator and prey.) So, how did so many wind up at the same place? Did the dinosaurs get stuck in the mud at a watering hole, (no tar pits here, though.) Or, as some scientists now believe, were they washed downstream in some kind of massive flood, and became a dinosaur “logjam” in this place?

The debate goes on, and there is still much more to learn about these giants of the world’s animal kingdom. It is hard to believe that dinosaurs roamed in this desert, (they must have ate a lot of food,) but the facts speak for themselves. If you have a dinosaur “bone to pick,” visit the Dinosaur Diamond. Then, hurry on down to the new, 2019 designated Jurassic National Monument. Just don’t try to outrun an Allosaurus — they sprinted over 36 miles per hour, or 10 miles per hour quicker than the fastest human.

From the video , lyrics to “WORLD OF GRACE1 (The Blitz) from the “Boarding House Mysteries” series

Unconscious of herself2

Unconscious3 to the world

World4 of touch

World of warmth

Warmth of his body

Warmth of the covers

Covers over her head

Covers are a mess

Mess of her hair

Mess of her life

Life of terrible thoughts

Life where beauty are inventions

Inventions neither material nor practical

Inventions of a brainwashed imagination

Imagination induced by drugs

Imagination that fears True Love and True Life

Life of the party

Life is all that or is there a choice

Choice becomes a vice

Choice becomes a habit

Habit of the pills

Habit of the morning smoke

Smoke in her eyes

Smoke like misty fog

Fog shrouds feelings

Fog hides memories

Memories of a painful childhood

Memories of loneliness behind the door

Door number 208 and a hallway

Door that cannot keep out desperation

Desperation that is everywhere

Desperation that is a worldly responsibility

Responsibility must come from within

Responsibility is hard in a world full of acting

Acting like a wild animal under the sheets

Acting like she never had enough

Enough of anything permanent

Enough of love that is only fleeting

Fleeting moments of happiness and contentment

Fleeting moments of pain and suffering

Suffering from the frustration

Suffering from too many drugs

Drugs that paint a phony picture

Drugs with chemical names

Names that define us

Names she seeks like her own name Grace

Grace to become a new Grace

Grace to be more amazing

Amazing5

Notes on the Lyrics to “World of Grace”

Lyrics are written in the style of “The Blitz,” a poetic form created  by Robert Keim.

It is a 50 line poem and uses short, rapid-fire phrases for 48 lines. Lines 49 and 50 are one word only.

The first line uses a short phrase. (Footnote 2)

The second line uses the first word of Line One in a unique, yet related, phrase. (Footnote 3)

Line Three uses the last word of Line Two in a unique, related phrase. (Footnote 4)

And similar to Lines One and Two, the fourth line of the poem uses the same starting word of Line Three in its own unique phrase.

Lyrics continue in this pattern,  (A…B, A …C, C…D, C …E, E…F, E …G, etc.,) for 48 lines.

Line 49 is the last word of Line 48. (Footnote 5)

Line 50 is the last word of Line 47. (Footnote 6)

To top it off, the Title (Footnote 1) of the poem is three words long, and is made of:

1.            the first word of Line 3

2.            conjunction or preposition word

3.            the first word of Line 47

Finally, the last rule is that there is no punctuation, so there should be no grammatical offenses.
