The first signs of the alien planet
from the robot explorer
gave everyone’s mouths drooling
it might take a few years to get there
said one scientist
and a few years to set up
but there’s enough chocolate mousse
for us to survive on for a lifetime……

Ultimate questions
a thoughtful poem by inky
There are some things you could spend Millennia on
Like what’s beyond the star ?
Is it possible there’s some other life
on a planet way off far ?
and if they do reside on a far off planet
do they know if we exist ?
and do they act like our great scientists
going round the twist?
for they know without travel – by speed of light
it would take us many years
before another planet, like earth
would eventually appear
Or have they mastered travel by UFO
between our planets to and fro ?

The aliens were a little bemused
for while floating around earth, in the sky
they spotted something , that made them confused
and made them ask each other why?
for sat by a stretch of a sandy beach
a little girl stood surrounded by sea
attracted by the balloons –
there were two or three
“Would you like some help” – said the captain of craft
as the planets , they pulled her, fore and aft
“er yes,sir” the girl called out a little amused
seeing the spaceship – left her confused
The planets – above her – had lost their way
and some, like Jupiter were starting to stray
so the captain called up some extra ships
to grasp on the planets lines for grip
And the spaceships pulled the planets up to the sky
letting go of the planets and watching them fly
as they moved in the darkness with plenty of grace
as they found their positions in the map of space
And the girl in this story – well, what of her ?
The aliens discussed and began to confer
and gave her a gift that was worth more than balloons
precious stones from the rocket made when it went zoom

Looking up at the sky,
It didn’t seem so far away
Going about its business
Helping out the stars
To lighten up the darkness
Ingenious people – wanted to build a place there
Of course, if it were offered
Up in a rocket she would go
Staying in a home among the stars

While the planets
Go round the Sun (our star)
and far off systems
go round their own stars
something keeps
space and time moving
The old man of space
keeps mother milky way , Andromeda
and her other brothers and sisters
turning while he watches on
There have been times
when he really wanted a change of scene
but instead – he kept going
in the same direction
So don’t be dismayed – if the stars out at night
seem out of place – and not quite right
Our dear old universe just want’s to play
It’s why all the patterns don’t look the right way

From the towers base
you could easily make
out where you saw
pathway to cosmos
lit up in plasma colours
laser pink and blue
UFO Friendly ?
a call to every craft –
“Come and Visit!”

I
Stars and Planets
Positioned Perfectly on
A darkened canvas
Comets , asteroids and meteors
Exploring from east to west
II
Sensational colours across the sky
Purples Pinks and other Rainbow tones
As you view the sights of
Creation of new planets from the
Explosion of an old star
III
Satellites travel through the darkness
Passing each planet on the way
Are the aliens at home ? or are they
Creating Mischief
Exciting young and old at the sight of a UFO ?

Mr and Mrs Giles
were bemused to say the least
when their arable field became home
to an enormous beast
Two visitors from mars
knocked on their door
and sheepishly sent
their eyes to the floor
“we’re sorry we landed, in your field Mr Giles
but there wasn’t a place for Daisy for miles
Our cow she’s quite big with eighteen legs
And she wanted a spot to lay her eggs”
So the farmer he went with his alien friends
and saw poor old daisy sat on her end
around her , and dotted around her legs
very large sized, massive, brown and white eggs
“There’s enough in this egg for one thousand teas”
and the aliens said they could have as much as they pleased
so long as the rest, could be picked up and stored
they could use that egg as a thank you reward
So the daisy slept in a barn for the night
and the aliens and the farmer , to avoid others fright
fixed up the spaceship – while everyone was asleep
even the prize ram who would gambol and leap
just before daybreak, in the air they would fly
towards their home in the far off sky
and farmer giles was more happy than pleased
as he started to sell cakes, buns and teas
Positioned somewhere in the sky
like a jewel on a blue – black velvet
and shining brightly in the
north and south halves of earths dark space
every kid wondering what’s up
there in the skies….visitors from other planets perhaps?

Someone sent a message through the solar system, and it was
Picked up by a friendly
Alien – who having enjoyed a
Colourful excursion on the Mother planet
Earth, packed up his bucket and spade and headed for the Blue and Green
