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……
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?

A bit of a slow burner i think you would call it
The engines went into thrust, leaving clouds in its wake
On board little tiny robots – off to explore that far off planet
Cloud formations forming behind it
Rising up through the blue
for destination coloured orange
in response to the prompt
This blue and green planet is quite unique in its own little way.
sustaining life for everybody on it whether they be human, bovine, feline or vermine
There’s oxygen – vital to make the creatures on it breathe – even under the water
and with the oxygen and water – we’ve got trees and plants
these provide colour, shelter, materials and other stuff animals need to live.
The human relatives make their homes in the trees – some of us also do this – but the rest make their homes on terra firma…in the wide vast spaces mother earth provides for us
With me visiting hospital recently this poem brought back some memories!
I hit the pillow,
drift off to sleep
and then out of the window,
with bears do I leap.
Onto a ship on its way to the clouds
shiny and bright with its crew that are proud.
Off to a place, hidden behind stars
Sunnier than the Moon, Venus and Mars
And passing by Orion, he gives us a wave,
as he tells animals in th’sky to behave.
and we drift away to our place of reach
our dream location – a lovely beach
Honeycomb sands and lemonade seas,
lime drop palms and friendlier bees.
A place where its sunny, and never too hot
a place for a teddy bears picnic spot
