Question:LIFE ON MARS

Such a peace
here.
For now,
the communal dome
is empty, but,

Dondi's lyric strains
play over the speaker,
soothing the tension
of writer's block
and giving back
inspiration.

From the kitchen,
elyslund swears.
Her cleaning elf
has once again
stolen her coffee.
Good Morning!

I smile and wave
to Elaine P,
who is setting up her gallery
of words worth
1,000 pictures.

And TD is somewhere,
in contact with Earth,
working hard, as usual.
I raise a glass
of Martian wine
in thanks.

The whistle
from the new train
sounds the arrival
of others,
friends and poets.
Everyone drops their work,
and welcomes them to Mars.

Author's Note: To the poets who mean so much to me. Thanks for a home on Mars.

Perhaps one of the sweetest Mars poems yet. It's lovely and the imagery is great. I can see Elysabeth, Elaine, Dondi, and TD at their tasks. Great poem.

This is a wonderful poem. Your poetry has brought a special light to my life, on Earth and on Mars. Blessings on the Internet!

Wow where did you get those topics

the poem is nice and beautiful....and i like the references made to all our poets...
and see how the visions of our poets are making a beautiful world out of something dark and strange...

Awww how sweet I'm sure they will like it.
