Snout brushes the clouds
Jets offer bullet garlands
Godzilla’s foot falls
Up there! Gamera:
Giant, jet-propelled turtle.
Quick! My camera…
Hot embers swirl
Wide leather wings a-flutter
Rodan, King of Winds
Mothra Mothra Moth
Twin micro girls squeak and shriek
Insect Colossus!
Oh Gargantua!
Mom, Dad, Brother, and Junior
Swiss Family Lizards
