Notes About The Poem

Mercury Acrostic

Martians, they don’t live here
Even astronauts keep clear 
Residing though in darkest places
Charred: the eyebrows on their faces
Up from underground they creep 
Resembling small asbestos sheep
Yikes they bleat at red hot feet

Thanks Andrea. Based largely on ‘Mercury for Dummies’... alright, maybe not. Glad you liked. Terry
