Tony Hargreaves Poet Blank verse

FROM GOLDILOCKS ZONE

From Goldilocks Zone of some distant star
Microscopic creatures evolve and spread. 
These tardigrades travel across cosmos.
In the ice of comets they hitch a ride
Surviving aeons in a dormant state,
Unti they then strike the earth’s atmosphere.
The ice melts and these creatures then appear 
And set up colonies where they may thrive.
These microscopic forms have come across
Many billions of miles of outer space.
But let’s think how these lifeforms affect us.
Could some of them function like a virus.
Microscopic creatures evolve and spread 
From Goldilocks Zone of some distant star.

Terry Ireland December 3, 2023 at 12:40 AM Interesting - isn't there a theory that comets seeded Earth with the basis of life. Tony Hargreaves December 3, 2023 at 9:38 AM Almost certainly the impact of comets on early earth brought the seeds of life. We now know they brought the vast amounts of water in their ice that created oceans. Many questions to ask.
