Notes About The Poem

Star Ships

Star Ships

A star ship soars through gloaming skies faster than warp speed as it appears to disappear from sight leaving only traces of light in disbelieving blinking eyes that search the skies. The next second those blinking colored lights reappear above the farthest mountain descending beyond sight. That round silent disc is soon joined by several matching more, putting on a light show to defy rational laws of gravity, darting through the dark with such amazing accuracy to boggle the mind at their ability to avoid collision, far surpassing our technical abilities to view them on our meager radar screens with their obvious capabilities to cloak their star ships with superior invisibility. Star ships seem to favor remote mountainous terrain, scarcely populated deserts, or the wide expanse of the oceans where they have been known to plunge into the deep. They are rarely known to land in areas where they may be easily approached by the curious who may become abducted, never to be seen again.

twilight twists necks to
view sky maneuvers---
sighting star ships

Great read! We had a bunch of them in the Phoenix Night sky not too far back. Well, I could talk on this subject for hours -- I have an open mind. Love it! Has that Tonga volcanic eruption sent any ways your way? Stay safe. Joe.

No waves or even ash to cloud our skies yet. I believe it went further south. We all have seen some here moving in all directions and then they may leave beyond warp speed. Very curious Joe. Mahalo and Aloha xxoo

I would like to believe in star ships, it is a fantasy that is to happen, not in our lifetimes but in our 'children's lifetime definitely a possibility, or rather more corret in our grandchildren's lifetime. I love your Haibun. I read below your son was not well, hope all is good now. I do think of you Connie, and my prayers are with you. hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Interesting lines penned. I don't go out at night very much any more so they could cover the sky and I would not know. LOL..I think it is something that is manmade(humans) or some natural happening that people are seeing though. Sara

Connie, This is a fascinating work. I think you have masterfully melded the prose with the haiku. I don't know if you wrote this based on personal experience, but it appears there is growing evidence for this from reliable sources. I miss your writing on here. I hope you will return when you are ready. Best, Thomas

Oh how I would like to see a UFO..When we first went to the Kruger National park... we saw what most people hope to see yet some never see. A young female leopard in the tree with its kill, a newly born impala buck. Seeing a UFO would be my ultimate desire. Wonderful poem dear Connie, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer

Creative work. Sorry you did not get it finished in time to enter the contest for which it was written. Your presence at my page to let me know about my poems placement on the best new poem list was encouraging to me. I would have probably never known it was there if you had not. Sara

Wow, just look at that photo. I've seen reports of sightings like this one in our Western states. Great haiku to describe it. Sorry you missed the contest deadline. Same thing happened to me. Contests seem to be filling fast now, but I feel sure this would have been a winner! Hugs, Carolyn

A dazzling light show of star ships, we have yet to understand the mystery of these ships, which many believe are visitors from another planet.. Very nicely penned Connie, Blessings

I remember you telling me about your experience Connie and I for one believe in them. I was reading an article recently about navy pilots who had seen these strange lights in the sky carrying out manoeuvres that defies all the laws of gravity. Are they from another galaxy or another dimension seems nobody really knows. So many professional people like yourself have witnessed these strange phenomena, I know governments are not telling the whole story as they're concerned about national security but I think we all have a right to know.

This is a very interesting topic which you write about, Connie...and I can relate to the 'twisted necks'; I have spent many summer nights looking out for alien signs (we have flat roofs, and I learned to lie on my back to be more comfortable!). Hope you are keeping well, my friend. Regards // paul

Connie, you took me on a glorious ride through the atmosphere with the Mother Ship and her offspring! They are out there! I have experienced many unexplained occurrences and have friends who have seen amazing things. It sounds like you have as well. All the best to you, Susan
