Bio-Poem: Waterhouse Hawkins


Waterhouse.

Inventive, smart, creative, and brave.


Friend of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.


Lover of dinosaurs, learning, and England.


Who feels joy, fear, and loss.


Who finds happiness in constructing dinosaurs for all to see.


Who needs to share his work with the world.


Who gives his life to bringing dinosaurs “back to life.”


Who fears rejection and the unjust.


Who would like to see the discoveries of even more dinosaurs.


Who enjoys drawing, painting, building, and recreating dinosaurs.


Who likes to wear fancy suits to important dinners inside of a dinosaur statue.


Resident of London, England.


Hawkins.
