Ufo

Unwelcome visitor lands in field Farmer goes out to investigate Our hero wonders what he will see Upward he looks into the night sky Fast approaching ships are all around Over and under all the lights dance Unfortunately he's on his own Friend or foe he did not really know One man feeling he is without hope Undulating wheat covers the ground Fire is the answer that he seeks One tiny match sets the field aflame Up and away the saucers all fly Fleeing from the blaze that he had set Our hero looks up and waves goodbye Project U.F.O. I used U.F.O. for each stanza and wrote about U.F.O.s for good measure. For form I chose I do not Know, I thought it would be good to choose Unidentified Form Of Poetry otherwise known as U.F.O.P

I was totally in a "War of the Worlds", "Orson Welles" frame of mind as I read this. Love the subject matter. Fun read; great job!

Very nice Richard and a neatly wrapped up story. You chose to write it pretty much the same as I, carrying on the ufo starts through each stanza. Congratulations. love, Joyce

I enjoyed your footnotes here as well, and it was really cool how you went "all out" to use U F O in every stanza plus make it about actual UFO. I think it will earn you brownie points!!

Late response but thanks all the same Yanny

Oh wow, you caught me off-guard there. I didn't even realize the "UFO" acrostic side to this... clever! I don't know what I'd do if aliens landed (probably bust out my camera, like a true American... haha). I like to see people going outside the box and in this you sure do... good work!

Geez, I admire how you managed to bring "UFO" down all the way - right into the wheat field, so to speak. Your farmer is a hero indeed for sending those visitors back their way. lol @ UFOP. Good luck with the contest, Richard. Nice entry :)
