Diane Locksley Poet Quatrain

Ancient Astronauts From Mars?

Is that a sphinx we see on Mars
      Resembling the one in Egypt
Just how were the pyramids built
     And pharaohs placed in lavish crypts

When Mars’ oceans began to dry
     Did species seek preservation
Did ancient astronauts arrive
     To colonize a new nation

To date, the complex construction
     Of Egypt’s tombs sparks speculation
Are Martians in man’s family tree
     Hanging limbs, green blood relations


* For the "Sphinx Head on Mars?" contest

Gert W. Knop September 18, 2010 at 6:44 AM I enjoyed the read today, Diane! Mars still has many hidden suprises. There must have been water once on Mars. I wonder what the first austronauts will tell when they return from there. Thank you for commenting my poem "When I am dreaming". Best of success in Carolyn's contest!...Gert
