Notes About The Poem

"Alien abduction"... dream prompt from a friend for part 7

Connected In Their Dreams - Part 7

"Mmmm..." she moaned as she could smell
The aromas in her dream.
This time, she'll be wined and dined
In the most exotic scene.

Just as the starter was served to them
A neon violet beam
Sucked them and their dinner up
To a place they'd never been.

They were suspended above the floor
Inside this neon hold.
Three aliens approached them.
They were lean, green and bald.

When they spoke they sounded like Daleks
"The male form has a logical mind.
If they refuse answer our questions
We will have to read his mind."

They analysed the plate of food.
"What is it you consume?"
Neither of them answered 
And the silence filled the room.

"His mind says it's some sort of magic.
They call it Aph-ro-dis-i-ac."
So one of the aliens tried some, froze
And fell flat on his back!

"Is this what happens every time?
Is this a normal reaction?'
They nodded. 'Why do you eat it then?"
They held back the purpose of the action.

"The female is changing colour
She was white and now she's pink!
We must examine her mind too
To see what's wrong - what do you think?"

She quickly thought of a popular song
So that her thoughts would change their tune.
"It appears that music turns humans pink.
They're wired to the moon!"

The aliens glided away.
This pair heaved a sigh of relief.
He praised her quick thinking,
"That was truly beyond belief!"

ET waddled into view
With his heart and finger a-glow
"You're from Earth. I have a friend
Called Eliot! Did you know?"

They smiled and nodded and asked ET
To free them from the neon cone.
He did just so and made the offer
"ET phone home?"

By this point the alien could move again.
His pupils filled his eyes.
That stuff knocked him off his feet,
He was still dazed and surprised!

ET lowered the ship to earth
And they ran as fast as they could
In to the distance of their dream,
ET's voice echoing - "Be good!"

Thank you I'm glad to hear ones have enjoyed them. I was a bit unsure at first about doing this but thought, why not, so just gave it a go. I will be taking a break from the dream series for a bit to give my mind chance to conjour up some more craziness and to focus on other poems too 😉
