Your Poetry Is Out of This World

Intelligent life is out there;
I can't see this being untrue.
So on that premise let's be fair,
There are alien poets too.

My only question is therefore,
How "human" stacks as metaphor.

Profound musings! Just wondering: Do you consider the phrase "alien poet(s)" to be an oxymoron?... ...Your six-liner provides so much "food for thought." It's what great art does. Bravo, Maureen! ---Gershon

No oxymoron here. I'd sooner believe in alien poets than a few other wild ideas bantied about ;) Thank you for your lovely visits Gershon! Much appreciated, xomo!
