Clive Culverhouse Poet Light Verse

First Contact

so after it landed
something grey walked out of it
down a ramp that looked like
it couldn't have been 
part of the ship moments ago
they appeared familiar 
with where they stood
blue bottle eyes scanning
old friends from millennia ago
I think he was trying to put
one of his three fingers
on what had changed, 
passing clouds smirking
as they drifted by, 
anyway, to cut a long story short, 
they seemed a bit put out
and it was all a little awkward

David Fisher November 7, 2023 at 5:20 PM I like your take on first contact. It seems plausible, the way you wrote it indeed. Clive Culverhouse November 7, 2023 at 10:51 PM Thank you David, I appreciate you taking the time to read my poem

Mark Hughes November 7, 2023 at 11:55 AM Clive, you are other worldly, puzzling piece, I need some help here. Mark Hughes November 7, 2023 at 12:49 PM Clive, thanks so much, I was thinking the same. I thought perhaps I might be missing something. Clive Culverhouse November 7, 2023 at 12:18 PM Hi Mark, my silly sense of humour on the premise that aliens visit but it's not actually their first time here, now millenia after, we've collectively forgotten who they are and the meeting was awkward haha, the ancient alien theorists might like it.
