Actually, at first I thought that you were referring to the huge hole in the ozone layer, clearly visible from a spacecraft, a picture we have seen before. Nevertheless I quite enjoyed the premonition even though I found it a bit preachy.

Your narrative poem with a WHAT IF plot really makes this reader ponder. Is Earth so rapidly deteriorating that other worlds might notice and send a warning? Good description of the alien vehicle's descent and Earthlings' reactions. I like your ABCB rhyme pattern. Rod

This is a really nice poem, I enjoyed it. I like the way you make too suggestions at the beginning about it maybe being God or aliens, and then run with the second one. I also like the way you deepened it by showing us why they came to earth and the sadness they felt, it's a great theme to explore. Thanks for sharing this and have a great day

    Thank you for this great review. It's actually survivors from earth that warn other planets. It's subtle so many miss that plot twist. Thanks again for reading. :)

A very nice rhyming poem for the contest. It has a nice twist at the end and a prophetic warning and tone to it. Well done. I wish you the best in the contest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BN,

Absolutely. Take a note. We can always learn something in every situation. They don't automatically have to be something to fear - in this case, these sad folks were here to offer warning and hope. That's pretty kind.

I like it!

Ooo, love this eerie one! You have the best imagination. This is thought-provoking and a bit creepy. Boy, I sure hope this is not the case, but given the path we are on...who knows! Great piece!

    I hope that it never happens, although I have seen two UFOs in my life, so who knows. I do believe that there is life on other planets. What do you think? Thanks so much for this nice review. :)

    Oh, I definitely believe that, too! Wow, I?ve always secretly wanted to see a UFO! Very cool.

This is an interesting story in a poem, Sharon.
This could very well be true. All of it! Who's
to say our God isn't behind the UFO phenonium? We have seen them. I do believe they are owned by our military. Well done. Great warning. Nancy:)

A real effective way to warn us about what is in store if we don't mend our ways. I would have liked to see a little more about the warning that was given, but what you have done is great.

A poignant write as humans fight and cause disruption and we wonder why the chaos ensues. But over the centuries wars have continued and life goes on, such is human nature, a poignant write, love Dolly x
