Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

A Parallel Universe

Imagine if there was a parallel universe
Somewhere out there in space
Other humans exactly like us
Living in the same time and place

This might spook a whole lot of people
Not me, I think it'd be great
To meet my alter ego in person
To ask questions of my parallel mate

Find out if he's sad when I'm down 
Or happy, when I'm over the moon
Ask him what he thinks of the world's conflicts
Does he nap in the afternoon

There's a million questions I'd have for him
Like what's all this madness about?
Does he have a cure for the ills of the world?
Is our time on this planet running out?

There must be other forms of life out there
They'd probably look strange to us humans
Maybe they're still at a primitive stage
But we're all still part of the plan

Laura Breidenthal December 17, 2022 at 9:29 PM The Parallel universe concept is intriguing. There’s got to be more out there than we can comprehend. Always, Laura Jack Ellison December 20, 2022 at 10:07 AM Not a question dear Laura... we would be very arrogant to assume we are the only living beings that exist... not comprehensible! XOX

Debbie Duncan January 18, 2013 at 7:14 AM love the way it reads, so cute. And I believe there is life out there. have a blessed day Jack ;} Jack Ellison January 18, 2013 at 7:16 AM With the countless billions of stars out there, we would be silly to think we are alone! Thank you dear Debbie... hugs!

Eileen Manassian January 14, 2013 at 12:49 PM I believe there are other created beings out there, Jack! That's a whole other story! ;) Love the way you took me out of my little box and out into the universe with this lovely poem! Jack Ellison January 14, 2013 at 4:14 PM My thoughts... of intelligent beings out there, yes! A parallel universe, no! Thanks for your kind comments dear Eileen! Love and big hugs, Jack

Richard Lamoureux January 14, 2013 at 8:59 AM Did you notice that your poem looks like a clay pot? Perhaps if it cracks the universe will split in two and the mystery will be revealed. Jack Ellison January 14, 2013 at 4:08 PM That would be a news worthy event, wouldn't it! My money says, life on other planets... yes... parallel universe... no!

Carol Eastman January 14, 2013 at 8:01 AM On Netflicks I was watching sliders yesterday... About meeting ourselves in parallel universes.... Can you read minds? ROFL (Roll on floor Laughing) My Hubby said to use it... but LOL is all I can remember... I wonder how my double writes? Jack Ellison January 14, 2013 at 8:04 AM There CAN'T be two of us, CAN THERE??? ROTFLMAO! Hugs!

Toquyen Harrell January 14, 2013 at 7:30 AM Lol, I don't know what to think about it. Part of me believes in other beings out there. But the other godly part doesn't, ha. I think it would be awesome if there are indeed other beings out at some other universe. Who knows, right? Great write, Jack. Have an awesome day! Jack Ellison January 14, 2013 at 7:36 AM I can't imagine, with the billions of stars out there, that we are the only one with intelligent life! You're right, who knows for sure! Have a great day, my dear friend... hugs, Jack
