THE ALIENS 1

Part of a four-part series of poems also titled 'THE ALIENS'

THE ALIENS

appeared in the sky with their impressive spaceships

More than ten thousand strong, they

hung there, ghost-blue in the infinite midnight.

When morning came

they landed on cornfields, dairy marts, movieplexes

Emerged, wearing molecular suits and silver helmets

tentacled and bloated, their skin shining emerald

When the first alien stepped off his ship and onto the soil,

he suddenly froze.

he seemed to look, to stare at the people in the crowd. Then

took off

his helmet

to reveal a strange face crying with joy.

“We found you!” he laughed

“We finally found you!”

he said, shaking his head, wiping the tears from his eyes.

[SpokenWord]

found us? oh how interesting his story must be :) I think if had landed in our state we would have had him committed for mental stability. Actually this was a nice write the ending i wasn't expecting so it was a good twist to it.
