Notes About The Poem

Klaatu Barada Nikto

Klaatu Barada Nikto.

If that 
is how it's done,
then so it will  be done.
I now lift my hand and will
be gone. So movingly inside
this  single  one, existence 
fought  nullification, and 
amazingly, victoriously, 
won, that day Earth  
lived  on.

Klaatu Barada Nikto

Maria Williams May 1, 2017 at 9:01 AM The Magic of Love Wins every time, as you will see in my new poem Darren. This is brilliant A super 7++ Darren White May 1, 2017 at 9:16 AM It does, and I am going to have a look at your poem now. Also thank you for the 7.

Chris Green May 1, 2017 at 7:17 AM Very cool my friend I knew the phrase sounded familiar but had to look it up as well. The Day the Earth Stood Still is one of my favorite SciFi movies, both versions. The poem is perfect for the theme of the film, you have captured it nicely. Darren White May 1, 2017 at 7:19 AM Mine too \o/ Hoped you'd like it, and you did :)

Sara Ella April 30, 2017 at 10:25 PM Yes, copy cat here, I looked it up too :) this is on old black and white movie... Without knowing the movie plot, I think you poem is one of hope-surviving against the odds <3 Darren White April 30, 2017 at 11:12 PM And that my dear, is exactly spot on :) <3

Phillip Garcia April 30, 2017 at 2:39 PM Since Tim already looked it up I can't without running the risk of being called a copy cat, so fill me in. Even without that, and setting aside the concrete shape, I read this as something coming from a place deep inside you that has quietly grown stronger and stronger through the struggle and is ready to introduce itself to the world. Darren White April 30, 2017 at 2:59 PM It is a metaphor in a way, yes. I love the film, because despite all the evil happening there, and the alien's complete innocence combined with frustration, he decides to geve Earth a second chance. Just as I decided to give life a second chance in a way.

Tim Smith April 30, 2017 at 1:03 PM You made me look that up : ) ...excellent poem and love the shape Darren White April 30, 2017 at 1:18 PM I can recommend the film, there is the original old one (which is my favourite), and a remake. Both are good, and, for a youngster like me, both are old :P Thanks Tim :)
