Question: Do you see Aliens!?
A Visitor
By C!.S!. Scotkin


Little green man
In my garden
Telling me
Tales, tongued in Martian,
Lovely stories, never heard on
Earth before!.

Glowing tales of Ares’ triumphs,
Recall the heroes;
Engineering feats,
Entire canals fashioned in cool
Noon day sun!.

Many more tales will come
Another chapter, Martian history,
New Immigrants will write!Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
We like to visit on the Earth,
Green trees are quite a change!.
On Mars it's all just dust and rock,
The cows can't graze our range!.

If we tell tales of feats so great,
But left out all the bad,
It's all because we don't want you,
To think that we're all bad!.

We squandered all the land we had,
The green all went away,
The air got thin and stayed like that,
Until this very day!.

We built our cities in the ground,
From pure necessity,
And with your lenses so well made,
Our culture you can't see!.

We wait for those who wish to come,
And build their crystal domes!.
We'll share with them that which we've learned,
And help them make their homes!.

So when we visit, treat us well,
And listen to our tales!.
We'll teach you how to get to Mars,
In ships with solar sails!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Glad you're getting into Martian "lifeforms" - this is a fertile field - for the imagination to explore!. The Martian temperature is pretty "cool" compared to Earth - the average temperature on Mars is about 218 K (-55 C, -67 F), Martian surface temperatures range widely from as little as 140 K (-133 C, -207 F) at the winter pole to almost 300 K (27 C, 80 F) on the day side during summer!. I think you meant to say - that the canals were made (erected, etc) during the heat of the day (which at its hottest is no more than 80 degrees)!. Your use of the word "fashioned" can elude to being "styled" by or "formed" by the cool Noon day sun ?Www@QuestionHome@Com
