Where do aliens live?
caught between velvet foam of Frappuccino...
underneath soles of chapped feet...
riding pores of shimmering summer heat...
hidden inside shabby trunk where plasticine
and paint vie for space among Grandpa
Edward’s model trains...
wriggling among shedding autumn leaves...
a stream of telepathic light where, through stimulation
they stimulate imagination...
I found this answer in a Chinese fortune cookie once:
‘Aliens live in a small village on the edge of the Arctic Circle’.

Arctic Circle eh, those be the Chilly Willy Aliens :) Enjoyed your thoughts Cath and yes they do live amongst us thriving in nature :) Cheryl
This deserves a comment, the reason being - in a Chinese fortune cookie - I found the answer lol!
This stimulates my imagination certainly through streams of telepathic light.
I like the imagery you evoke in a subtle sense.
The answer you provide to the question is hilarious.
you continue to be
one of the most
visual writers!
that's what it's all about!
hope things are great in your world!
peace~

‘Aliens live in a small village on the edge of the Arctic Circle’
This is just great! :-)
lol..liked the alien poem
u are really imaginative and potray the same in ur poems!!
Very visual, and unique. Love this line, "a stream of telepathic light where, through stimulation
they stimulate imagination..."
so it's aliens to blame when your chapped feet hurt (I always secretly knew that). ;D
I like the imagry of aliens "riding pores of shimmering summer heat..." and "a stream of telepathic light."
Neat imagining here.

(Oh, and I am glad to see your stuff again) ;D
Hi Catherine, this poem of yours
is so wonderfully creative and
whimsical - Enjoyed!
Wow. This is too perfect for my words. I rerad and said "yeah". Not a wasted word. Bravo to you my friend.
Your writing is better than anyones's on the net. so descriptive and magical. Hope you are enjoying your smmer break and doing lots of writing and having fun.
i like the wriggling metaphor...
Love it! I think aliens are everywhere - any time someone feels out of place or is new to something or doesn't quite fit. It's good, though. We should be discovering new territory.
They're everywhere then, aren't they? I am bathed in your brilliance.
