Alien Life

bennefeld-alien_lifeThey live among us,
only slightly alien–
their DNA so close
that some of them can breed
with some of us.
A cross-section of each
is close enough
to be the other…

And so, who is alien,
after all? You? I?

I won’t tell,
if you don’t.

  1. Certainly, for your personal use. Thank you for asking. I’m hoping to hit every day. Sunday’s, in case you didn’t come across it, is at quietspaces.net/blog — I was thinking photos, but then didn’t find one to go with it.

    One a day, the quality’s bound to go down, but it’ll be fun.

  2. Thank you. I just copied the 13th’s poem, so I think I’m caught up. {Smile}

    I have enjoyed them all, but my favorite so far is “Hostage to Another’s Dreams.” {Smile}

    I hope it is fun writing them; it’s certainly fun reading. {SMILE}
