A freak thought breeding purists, who would surely end up glue.

Eight magnificent Steeds already to win the race.
Trampling all before them, galloping at full pace.

Masters of Trickery

alien ornithopters filled with pilgrims
gliding in under a full moon
foul smelling unwashed bumbling
hubcap jockeys from artless galaxies

Grazing the wispy clouds of cottony linens
Like smooth white, waxy strings of dental floss
Strung out high above these heavenly denizens.
