M. L. Kiser Poet Sonnet

Diversity Pays Off

When you visit other planets,
Always take a gift with you.
It builds rapport with aliens;
Who’ll happily swap with you.

If you like their world,
You’ll be invited back.
You’ll learn a lot of things from them;
To get Earth back on track.

Many planets have been through,
The same problems Earth has been.
These problems may just cease to brew;
Once others, you befriend.

Diversity, it has its charms;
Especially if we do no harm.

Gershon Wolf January 9, 2019 at 8:01 PM You charming poem just pulled me into the possibilities here, hook, line and sinker! (And I thought that I was at least somewhat rational). Nice write! :) gw M. L. Kiser January 10, 2019 at 7:41 AM Thank you Gershon, I am thrilled that it "pulled" you "into the possibilities"; I'd rather err on the side of possible than to negate all possibilities.

Constance La France January 8, 2019 at 8:42 PM ML, wouldn't it be great to be able to converse with beings from other planets, get their help to solve our problems, well done ~ M. L. Kiser January 9, 2019 at 6:42 AM We certainly need someone's help on this planet. It would be nice, provided that they were good hearted aliens. Thanks.

Michelle Faulkner January 8, 2019 at 1:44 PM 'Earth gets by, with a little help, from her friends' - this made me think of that song, maybe I'll turn it into a proper poem, thanks for the inspiration! M. L. Kiser January 9, 2019 at 6:44 AM When one thinks about it, I think there's a Beatles song for just about everything. Anyway, yes we do and thanks again.

Caren Krutsinger January 8, 2019 at 11:17 AM Snappy advice, and sage too, as I was planning to visit other planets as soon as I build my spaceship. Maybe by Tuesday. I like the happiness of the poem, and the wise advice. M. L. Kiser January 9, 2019 at 6:46 AM Oh hey, Can you build me one, as well? How much will it cost and when can you start? Oh and would it include a seat belt for my cat? Seriously, thanks Caren.
