I love the idea of an extra-terrestrial coming to bring us a message. Trouble is, we all hear the message and still nothing happens.

One of the reasons I love science fiction is this very way it helps us see ourselves from a distance, helps us to see future consequences of contemporary action or lack of it. And besides doing that, there is the skill with words--the artistry--which this poem carries abundantly. Love the enthusiasm of the alien who finally reaches a cherished goal and drinks deeply of plenty before seeing the tell-tale signs of a shared history. Beautifully done. Let's get our sustainability on!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723639294340760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-68142025191587689722015-06-03T02:19:03.422-11:002015-06-03T02:19:03.422-11:00this is so very touching...so glad to see these bl...this is so very touching...so glad to see these blue, green and crystal...i've used them too in my poem today :)Sumana Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333363799083094084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-73404376200945372042015-06-03T02:12:22.378-11:002015-06-03T02:12:22.378-11:00Brilliant!
