Alien Skies : Adult Poetry

Alien Skies

A light orb in a bright night sky

Splaying rays, caught my eye

I am curious, I walk outside

There is Venus, crescent left

Not an plane, its not a helicopter

a trained sky gazer knows

What is that light in my sky?

It’s spinning, it’s too bright

A mesmerizing light,

My camera is inside

If I run in the house, I will not catch it

I stand outside, afraid to move

I will miss it, stand watching

Four or five minutes, hovering

Blinking, its turning, gears left

Its moving, I kept thinking

Grab my camera, as I turn to

Go inside the light blinks

And the bright orb

disappears in the sky

It’s those alien orbs that

Continue to visit my prairie skies
