sweltering hot days
fried my eggs on the sidewalk
flowers pray for rain
earthlings ignore their Mother
the Devils in the details...

without our longings,

                                   what's the point of our strivings,

            small, stranded earthlings ?...

 When the stars align
'tis then the magic unfurls
Prophetic moment
Insular earthlings challenged
Their narrow vision enhanced....

Dear 'possible' creator of all things,
At the risk of sounding a dumbo:
Please forgive these holy-roly Earthlings,
And all their man-made mumbo jumbo....

Without our longings,
what's the point of our strivings,
small, stranded earthlings?

Balance sheets the same,
but for the decimal points
of wealth, love or fame!...

Old yellow bike from Jupiter
Landed on earth with a bang
His daisy flowers never wilted
No one questioned this
He loved being an alien here
Earthlings never noticed...

There once came a ship from Mars,
and they warned us of falling stars.
But earthlings didn't care,
cause such a thing is rare.
And who would listen to people from Mars!...

Please shed some light
    O, luminous star
      on this puzzle for me

  You light the way for earthlings
    Can't you help fellow starlings
      born without wings...

Having so chosen, earth life prison
Mix love potion, in the heart cauldron 
Thus free in each entrée 
We set sail forth in glee
Behold earthlings! Phoenix has risen!

Rainbow Brite, 
but not mine. 

Until these 
Fruit flies
Consume me. 

I am tart
And you are 
Sweeter. Or 
So I think. 

Until these
Crimson ribbons
Unfold. And 
We are earthlings
Ready for invasion....

Alien
From Mars
Possible
Infiltrator
Otherworldly spy
Collects imperative data
To learn earthlings
And help educate
Us to survive, and
thrive with other
planets
Fear not.
Welcome

We 'astro-nuts' scan the skies from Earth down here:
   "Could there be Intelligent Life out there?"

Way out in Space, at Earthlings they gawk and stare--
   "Is that Intelligent Life down there?"...

Listen to poem:

Humble moon
hid sun
from view;
earthlings
forsaken
shaken.

Saw eclipse at dusk,
when sun set,
then rose
at night.

Saw eclipse at dawn
when sun rose, twice
in morn.

Sun
forlorn,
occulted....

On bended elbows in the grass,
I watched a caterpillar slowly pass.

It showed no fear that I was there,
and turned its head toward me to stare.

A brief encounter before it passed.
Two earthlings meet in the grass....

Women come from Venus.
Men come from Mars.
Earth has visitors from other worlds;
humans with different emotions and passions.

Becoming earthlings begins with learning what it's like to be woman,
and what it's like to be a man....

Stars play all day, OK
     can't come out tonight

   Moon's unavailable too, by the way
     second-degree burns from the sunlight

   Earthlings, amuse yourselves in the dark
     gaze upward from a graveyard or trailer park...

Our Earth has been hot...
     Our Earth has been cold...
          Through times that were not
By humans controlled.

Cooling and Warming...
          Nature transforming?
               Earthlings deforming?

Red sprite viewed on high.
A pilate’s surprised,
Rubs his weary eyes.
SHE’S dressed to the nines.
She’s MORE surprised to see him.
“Why isn’t he more down to earth?”
She asks herself.
Why would these earthlings arise
“Is it their pride?” She wonders....

Exceptions especially encouraged-- 
Every encounter emerges, 
Eventually enveloping everyone 
Eagle-eyed; ecstatic, energetic   
Early earthlings enjoyed elegies 
Effusively effected, each eloquent.

The exoplanet council's having a pow-wow
  Where are those amateur astronomers now

We've lost track of their telescopes
  Have all those earthlings given up hope

Optimistic that our lifeforms will soon be discovered
  Guess we'll have to wait 'til folks down there recover...

Earth was sending a long 
shadow on the moon.
A great night for both of them.

        *

A city of dreams 
lies still. A divine path 
opens for the erring earthlings.

        *

A night falls 
surreptitiously on the lake.
The moonlight was trapped by waves.
