#SciFiPrompt 91: Crater from @gus

A repost that fits. #scifipoem

--

A farmer's sleep,
is interrupted.
Loud bang,
takes out his barn.

Piles of debris
mounts up high.
Fuming crater,
emits a light.

From the center
Daisy the cow,
comes out shining
and looks around.

Sees the farmer,
and with deep voice:
"To your boss..."
Then a loud noise.

It can't finish,
the sentence tho'
On its cranium,
It has a hole.

An invasion,
came to a stop..
Double barrel,
Just did its work!

One Day

A tower of books
Pierces the violet sky
Clouds spell out “one day”

A silver-winged horse
Watches me through eyes of ice
The earth, mirror-like

An ancient oak tree
Wrought from emerald and steel
Observes an ending

#SciFiPrompt 71: Rocky from @gus

Rover roams on endless plains.
Rocky landscape.
It is Mars, it could be Earth.

Many fans don't lose faith
of a picture sent someday,
With a green man on the frame.
Waving, grinning to the cam:
"Hello Earthlings, here we are"

panicked lonliness
crosswalk button brings release
he's not really there
