Six Words – “Alien”

#promptuarium #Visitor
When the men from the rocket
landed on the moon
they weren’t expecting
a reception committee
The locals hadn’t seen Astronauts
and invited them to tea
they looked a little different
but acted like you and me
And they helped the men collect
rocks and soil from the ground
as the bosses from earth
wanted to know – if there was life around
And after the ‘nauts had left for home
the moon people to earth would go
to learn about their next door neighbours
in their fancy UFO
Visitor
#manchester #northwest
Manchester 23rd August
landed from some far away land
far from out in space
he wanted to experience life at a different sort of pace
he landed at the airport
created a kind of scene
they hadn’t seen someone at customs
quite that kind of green
after getting past the customs
he went off to the hills
experiencing the climbing
the wind the air the chills
and when he’d seen all that
he headed for the beach
and stuck his feet with all twelve toes
in the cool waters he could reach
drying off in a deckchair
having enjoyed his dips
he watched the waves roll into shore
with a box of fish and chips
Distraction
A piece inspired by a prompt from the promptuarium
As everyone watched
the moon do its disappearing trick
the new neighbours pulled up
and moved into the town
No one would spot
the family from space
as their landing craft
never left a trace
Depleted
They pulled the plug
took its power away
all communication
stopped
Now floating in space
a toy for the little green men
floating in space
with little to do
Out of this world
Taken root
On a spot of earth
Alien invader starts to feed
Devouring the water below
Some plants sit, aghast as they watch
The alien eat up their food like an unwanted guest
Others, are more philisophical as
Over time – the alien and his cohort – will be
Lifted, and thrown away – or (if edible) eaten
Outer Space
#coloryourworld #cyw #outerspace
Picture created with Colorfy
looking out into the night sky,
it’s difficult to tell what colour outer space is
we paint it black – like a sheet of silk
and those far off dots in the fabric ? far off mystical worlds
we gave them names – and put them in stories
myths and legends, told many moon rises ago
Aries to the Huntsman we follow with pride
through telescopic lenses or newspapers inside
and the robots we send to examine these stars
landing on the moon, and venus and mars
are the UFO pilots playing hide and seek ?
Its a question the scientists ask every week.
A Martian Landed at Media City
A Martian he landed at Media City
He took a look round, but thought it a pity
That attracted by all those colourful lights
He landed his craft where he couldn’t see sights.
He saw a Man in a uniform sat behind desks
turning young adults to nervous wrecks
saying ‘this isn’t a place for you kids to play’
‘come back wi’ your teacher – on some other day’
The visitor saw the kids walk sadly away
as his eyes behind visor began to stray
as bustle behind windows , created a story
on some news worthy gossip, from Lib Lab or Tory
And on other desks too – tittle tattle from grounds
as footballers antics in town they’ve been found
and the camera’s flash on some sportsmans head
the latest transfer that’s been put to bed
The Martian he watched – as the screens switched to war
now and then stopped by the flash football scores.
It’s a funny old place this earth he did said
as news of the olympics flashed overhead.
And the lights they did change – as he saw the rings
and saw all the cheering and singing and things
as a scene from old stratford shone out a light
making the quayside shiny and bright.
So he entered his spacecraft and crafted a star
something that could be seen from near and of far
and he let it go upwards leaving trails on its way
lighting the sky for the others to play.
I wrote this tale during my time as An Ambassador for London 2012. The BBC had just moved in to their home on Salford Quays and this was my response to some of the overbearing security in that area…I thought, what if…hope you enjoy it© 2 years ago, Brian F Kirkham life • media • olympic • sport • alien • life2
Hide and Seek
Hide and Seek
An Allpoetry piece by yours truly – about little green men from mars (sic)
They called him “Curiosity”
and sent him off to Mars
to dig up samples of possible life
and collect them up in jars.
and sent him off to Mars
to dig up samples of possible life
and collect them up in jars.
He had a bumpy landing,
from his journey from far off earth
but once he’d picked up rays from the sun
he was off for all he was worth
He collected samples for a week
the humans – on earth – sent him to seek
up and down this planet of red
till he powered down and went to bed.
And when he woke up
Imagine the surprise
Greeted by little men from mars
when he did rise
“You found us!” said a little furry creature in Green
“We’re such great hiders – we’ve never been seen”
So then it was his turn – and his wheels they did run
(after he’d charged up his batteries in the sun)
So, Dear scientists don’t worry today
his batteries aren’t broken – he’s gone off to play
with his new friends the Martians – he’s been there for weeks
finding new places – to play “Hide and Seek”
