Notes About The Poem

Home

An extraterrestrial hiding -
Elliott and E.T. won’t stay sober.
Reeses Pieces and alien colliding.
After all, it’s late October.

The shelter of woods - not his home.
Where Elliot’s family resides, not even close.
His long finger points up, “Home! Home!”
Bicycle on firm ground - arose.

The painted trail, scenic beauty, 
it’s cold out there - far, far away
from his planet. It is a friend’s duty
to let him go…he cannot stay.

Separation of friendship souls.
Spoiler - both Elliott and E.T. Live.
There never was a reason for consoles.
Escape hatched - actions corroborative.

I was driving past the theater in 1982 with my 5 year old and baby. I decided to go. My son slept through the movie and my daughter was so good. A great memory. Thanks, Mike!
