Monday Morning Smile: "Wayne the Stegosaurus"

I love this idea.  Motionpoems is a Minnesota-based non-profit that essentially facilitates music videos for poetry.  Now, it's not quite Tawny Kitaen rocking out to John Ashbery, but the results, featuring hand-picked poems and video artists, are intriguing to see.

Most of the poems are geared for adults, but one of the most recent, "Wayne the Stegosaurus," is for readers of all ages.  It's a poem by well-known children's poet Kenn Nesbitt, and the animation is from Jeffrey Dates and Aran Quinn.  I mean, if you don't want to watch after seeing the still below, then you are not a poetry or dinosaur fan.
