Introduction the poetic use of fossils.
The magical influence of many fossils, especially those who are very bright, has also attracted the attention of some sensitive people, inclined toward poetic production, whether professional or amateur poets, for there is nothing strange to understand that the contemplation of such unique stones and surprising, for the Weird imitative forms they take or the thoroughness superhuman reach the detailed figures and reliefs that decorate their surfaces, could not remain indifferent, practitioners of versification. Limestone

The luckiest poetic inspiration, enabled to express and communicate, in a brief but intense deep admiration that many humans share, to such rare productions of nature, or the vibrant emotion can provoke their aesthetic contemplation or mystical reflections that leads meditation inspired by the symbolism of their forms.

And it matters that the possession of the object inspiring poetry, is the result of capricious chance, causing involuntary surprise to finders, as that is the product of a systematic search long and hard, or even that the fossil has been received, free of charge, as a reward or gift, or has been purchased, expensive, selecting and buying in a store specialized and even in cases where the fossil is not owned by the author of the verses. In any of the above situations, emotions can trigger contemplation of poetic inspiration can blossom and flow with the same intensity.

The poet person, whether it's right hand, as if inept, educated or popular, and hopes to try the various impacts of their verses, on the sensitivity of the target readership or audience listener, trigger, instantly, intense emotions or fleeting evocations that arouse feelings closely lying dormant, deep thoughts that inspire or provoke knowing smiles. All this and much more, you can get a poetic text driven by fossil fuels, if the operator dominates enough, the difficult art of imagining, constructing and installing various devices of language, arranging strategically, cleverly prepared as snap traps, predisposed to be activated when touched by the comprehensive view of the reading public hearing or captured by attentive listeners.
By reading the poems paleontological we selected from that we can muster, with some difficulty and effort, we hope to show, as poetic forms and styles have changed a lot over the years, or as communicative goals of the alleged poets, can be quite varied.
