The Shape

(to understand this one, you really have to go see the picture of the sphinx head on Mars, over at Carolyn Devonhire's contest page) As pure evil that would not stay still, He would randomly murder at will. But he took things too far When he flew up to Mars, ‘Cause the air up there made him turn ill. . . Michael Myers fell into deep sleep. Martians bound him and buried him deep. But they let his mask show So that all Worlds would know They are keeping their eye on that creep! For Carolyn's Contest!, "Sphinx Head on Mars"

This is cute and I see you won the contest. Yes the shape of landscapes can sometimes look like a person. In Thunder Bay Ont. there is a rock formation that looks like a man sleeping. He is called the friendly giant by the natives. Phyl

You did a great job putting Michael Meyers on Mars, Andrea. Hope he stays there. Those horror films are too scary for me. Good luck in this contest with this funny double limerick. Have a nice weekend, Diane

Hey! Michael Myers is a Michigander - that is a duck from Michigan. Go Blue! Oh, how we gonna cream Utah the next time we meet on the old gridiron! Seriously. This poem is real spacey. Good luck in the contest. Love, Dave

Another sweet, lyrical write for which I hope the best. Thanks for reading my poems. Andrea, I am Jamaican, and I write using a personal conceit inspired by Greek classics, mythology, and the Bible. I hope I can answer all your questions in this statement ... for too often I am just an oracle for my own poetry.
