A Martian's Fantasy

The fantasy of a Martian like me
  is to explore Earth's vast blue seas
to fraternize with dolphins and whales
  to return to Mars with many a tale

of octopus, squid, stingrays and eels
  the intense water pressure one feels
perhaps experience rapture of the deep ~ 
  long as my fifteen heads get their beauty sleep

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 3/28/2022 11:15:00 AM This is clever, your poetry always carries significant messages and I feel both your desperation and hopelessness, but we have to stay sane and laugh a little sometimes, this poem is all about, coping and living and that tomorrow is another day, enjoyed this poem and had a giggle. Hugs and blessings. Jennifer. Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 3/30/2022 7:26:00 AM Glad you giggled, Jennifer! Wolf with a Wiggle

Anselmo Boles Date: 3/28/2022 1:00:00 AM Hahaha, you floored me with the last line! So impressed with your unconventional wit, Gershon. Hubba Hubba!...ab Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 3/30/2022 7:24:00 AM 15 heads did the trick for you, I see, Anselmo. Glad I didn't give that Martian 16 heads. lol. Thanks, gw

Judy Ball Date: 3/27/2022 8:23:00 PM This is too cute Gershon. Reminds me of the little Martian and his dog that visited Earth in the Looney Toons I used to watch as a kid. Bugs Bunny used to give him quite the run around. A real fun read. God Bless, JB Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 3/27/2022 8:37:00 PM Let's keep having fun, Judy. Good times straight ahead...
