Seeing My First Ufo
it was a balmy night
Kansas was ridiculously muggy
hottest July in recorded history
I stared into the night sky
anticipating something, yet not knowing what
irregular lights appeared above the tree line to the west
I stared as they looped and twirled in a strange way
no ordinary aircraft
was I seeing a UFO?
I yelled for my husband, but he did not hear me
the dogs came out to stare into the woods
They never looked into the sky
I saw some flashes
it looks like an alien spaceship I thought
Were they taking photos of us?
it disappeared without a sound
was this my imagination?
Do I talk about it or ignore it?
My husband came out of the house
Did you want me?
I almost got picked up by an alien space ship I said
wondering if they were recording me as I spoke
