Ufo

Until I see them
Frame me as a doubting Tom.
Once will be enough.

Until they see me
Friends I’ll never claim they are.
Otherwise, you’re nuts

This poem made me smile! I think the same could be said about ghosts, unicorns, and fairies! Except we see them more easily around Halloween! A very fun and whimsical read. Great writing, Jake!...Thank you for the kind comments, once again!

Your poetry has such depth. I love this one. So imaginative with vivid imagery that goes farther than the eyes can see.

You made me lol, John. I am one of those "nuts" (hehe). I agree with the others: a lot of fun. Also, I don't like haikus, and trust me, I am not pandering to you at all with the compliments. You have genuinely impressed me with every piece I've read, especially considering all my poetic biases. You have true talent, sir :)

Thanks, Jake, for your kind comments re my poems. Great little poem above -I guess the whole word will believe one day. Seems incredible? I agree, but amazing what people believe when deceived by the demonic world that surely does exist. When you experience it, you know it's real. Reading a book entitled, Exo-Vaticana by Cris Putnam & Thomas Horn - talks about Vatican's plan for the arrival of an alien Savior - We can only wait and see what's around the corner. God bless, Maureen

Many demonic forces are at work to test the faithful. I feel it is my mission to give them as much reason to test me as I possibly can... Thanks for your comment on my little entry into a posted contest... Much love and respect is directed to you and yours.... Jake

I am open to any factual evidence of their existence..... This was written solely for the UFO contest... Thanks for your comments... Your talent gives them value..... Jake

Creative entry for the challenge, mate! I don't believe in UFO's necessarily, but I don't find it that unlikely that there would aliens out there (the universe is a big place). Though I think if they do exist they are nothing like what we imagine them to be... they could even just be no more than insignificant little microorganisms... I still think it's possible.
