Spring Comes in Peace
A silly poem about an extraterrestrial crash landing into a rainy pasture.
Stop and smell the roses
On this rainy day in May.
It's a wonder that you've chosen
The best planet to make your stay.
I know that you've crash-landed;
Don't let the damage bring you down.
It's the best place to be stranded;
On the finest land in town!
Let the water wash you,
Feel the grass beneath your feet.
The sky might be of gray hue,
But you're in for quite the treat.
The Earth is filled with wonders;
Much to see, both far and wide.
There is much for you to ponder,
So sit back; enjoy the ride.
The bees are making honey,
Soft, sticky, sickly sweet.
Try a bit, you'll owe me;
Thick with flavor, so unique.
I'm sure you miss your home,
But do find joy during the Spring.
This pasture's great for roaming,
But the wasps... Well, they might sting.
Don't worry, friend, I'll teach you
Everything you need to know.
Enjoy some Earthly pleasures
Before it's time for you to go.

And the Sun Came Up Tremendous
In memory of the 12 girls who were among the first victims of the atomic age. The screen on Mara's smartphone screamed beams of blue light into her eyes as she doom scrolled through social media. It was 4:13am, and she was still laying on her side in her bed unable to let go of the news headlines whipping past.

I love the positivity and warmth of this, so welcoming.
This was simply perfect 🌟💕
I see, looks like you assume that aliens would visit Earth only upon accidental crash-landing :-) Indeed, a nasty place to stay, who would want to do it willingly :-D
Sweet and beautifully descriptive! 💙Anneliese
This is so beautiful and sweet! The description of honey is gorgeous! Well Done Ashley! This is brilliant work!
Awww, this was like so sweet! I'm sure he would enjoy his stay! Loved your poem!
Great rhymes! Great poem! I enjoyed it very much!
That was really sweet :) Beautifully written, rather funny, and with a great sense of rhythm
As someone who feels like an alien on earth most days… this was like a comfort blanket 🥰✨🕊️ I loved it
Very good, I seriously wouldn't have thought of introducing them to spring but that is a very fitting direction to take a rhyming poem. I like how fully you plunge into the singsong, and let the silliness glitter with spring. Strange prompt, but sounds fun.
Sounds similar to what I would say to them if they landed.
great poem on a side note, the picture reminds me of the teletubbies. Just needs LaLa to run through it with the giggling baby sun.
What a great take on a sci-fi story. I can picture a young teenager as the narrator. Excellent!
