Tom Arnone Poet Etheree

Call To Mars

Saving credits for a trip to the stars,
A cave at Alba Mons volcano:
Ancient secrets, flowing bars;
Greenish women, so Bueno;
Artifacts, old, Martian,
Calling me to hug.
Beetle auction.
Red dust bug.
Big brained,
Life,
Love.
Misplaced
Mementos
Belonging to
Polka-dot fellows
Sexy ladybugs knew.
A rust-colored threesome
In waters that ran chilled and new;
But, air-thinned with delirium,
And a dusty marriage Mars did eschew.

Rich Metzger August 6, 2016 at 7:46 PM I wouldn't mind a rust-colored threesome myself. Thank you for teaching me the word grok! Tom Arnone August 6, 2016 at 10:52 PM Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein -- great book. Thanks for stopping by! :-)

Kim Merryman July 27, 2016 at 8:08 PM Tom, great imagery in this and I like the rhyme! I agree that you shouldn't have cut it down for the contest. It's great the way it is! Blessings! Tom Arnone July 27, 2016 at 11:28 PM Thank you kindly, Kim! :-)

Tom Quigley July 26, 2016 at 11:46 PM Very enjoyable SF write! The rhymes are great, too. I will store away in my brain that bueno rhymes with volcano. Tom Arnone July 27, 2016 at 4:29 AM Ha, ha. Yes, that was a difficult one. Now, give me a rhyme for purple.... ;-)

David Smith July 26, 2016 at 6:49 AM Interesting. You never know what could be out there. Some pretty deep oceans in space. It works for me. You play with words well my friend. I think I have a match in you. Look me up in the soup. David in NZ (Kiwi land). If you see a Kangaroo you are wrong side of the ditch. Tom Arnone July 26, 2016 at 7:03 AM Thanks, David, I'll do that. :-)
