Happy Martian New Year

     Happy Martian New Year
       All you earthlings

     Be you wealthy or destitute
       intrepid or cowardly
       ecstatic or miserable
       inhibited or unbound

     At the Red Planet
       look up, awestruck




      Nov. 12 is Martian New Year!

Paul Willason November 14, 2024 at 6:54 PM I'm on the next express rocket to the red planet....I'll bring streamers, balloons and booze. Where will we meet...maybe atop Olympus Mons. Good one my friend...

Daniel Henry Rodgers November 14, 2024 at 6:03 AM Happy Martian New Year, I loved how you playfully bridge cosmic distances with earthly emotions. You had a number of clever contrasts and celestial imagery of shared humanity. Your words spark wonder and unity. Well said! Autumn Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Michael Tor November 13, 2024 at 2:16 AM Lol Gershon. This one gave me a big smile. Love how you included all the emotions of human beings especially after this election. Love you sense of humor. Have to get my Gershon fix to start the day, you are better than a cup of Java lol. Be well my friend... Michael Tor November 13, 2024 at 4:55 PM lol. Gershon Wolf November 13, 2024 at 6:22 AM Hey, thanks for the comparison-compliment, Michael. Although, unlike a cup of Java, I don't cost a cent, I am glad to hear that I may be worth more!
