Where are we?
Friends, are you still with me?
We have somehow disappeared
from the great big blogosphere!
Stay together!
Somebody, somewhere,
must've punched in a code,
or clicked a key,
that shot us into
unknown territory!
Okay, follow me...
In the distance, to the left,
do you see?
What, I wonder, could that be?
Seems like some sort
of port or secret airstrip
most likely for
a saucer shaped spaceship!
Look over there,
behind that sunburnt, brittle tree,
amid the rocky rubble and debris.
Must be some kind of station,
or some sort of fort,
or maybe a hiding place
for a Martian consort!
They're coming from over there...
Yikes!
We have company!
Don't just stand there and stare!
Run as fast as you can and say a prayer!
Look!
A man in a suit
(and looking quite cute, to boot!),
is calling our names.
Might it be James?
As in Bond?!
'Run to the fort
and wait for transport!
I'll be back in a flash!',
he commanded,
as he dashed down the hill.
We never saw him again.
Two seconds later,
in the blink of an eye,
we were back on earth
and he was lost to the sky.
So glad we bloggers
stuck together!
Here's to more
cyberspace adventures!

Oh Poppy, this was over the top:)) Love those photos....oh my! Your imagination soars my friend...thanks for taking me along...
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post, Poppy! I will keep this in mind during our travels in Crete later this year and see where the boundaries of my imagination lie!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a fun take on life.
ReplyDeleteI was really intrigued by your story and your awesome photos Poppy! So much fun, thank you for treating us so excitingly!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adventure!! And such breathtaking landscapes. Bravo!!
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Now _that_ is an interesting Subject Line! -clapping hands-
ReplyDeleteAnd it was followed by a delightful post. Full of lovely photos, and whimsey, and imagination, and just plain fun.
Thank you!
Tessa~
That was fun! A little adventure to start out the day is a good thing!
ReplyDeleteIt takes a very creative mind, to take some beautiful landscape shots, find hidden alien information in the views and write a science fiction based poem to encapsulate it all.
ReplyDeleteVery creative indeed Poppy !
Gosh, I was getting a little worried! :) That was really fun, thanks for taking us along.
ReplyDeleteI was getting worried myself. At first I thought you were going to say someone hacked your site. At last all is well. :)
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure at first where you were taking us at first, Poppy, and like the comment above, I thought something happened to your computer. So glad it was just a fun, sci fi adventure, with out-of-this-world photos!
ReplyDeleteJennifer, Madonna and Amy,
DeleteDidn't mean to create an Orson Welles 'War of the Worlds' chaotic reaction! Sorry for the confusion, but happy you 'pulled through' unharmed!;-)

Amazing scenery ... it really is out of this world! That first photo especially is so alien. Great commentary throughout this little adventure ... we didn't leave anyone behind did we?! ;)

Is this what Mars looks like?
ReplyDeleteVery rocky, but very beautiful!

ReplyDeleteSuch an adventure Poppy. Love the scenery, the snow- covered mountains and that strange looking artichoke look alike plant. You are surrounded with wonders.
ReplyDeletehope you have a good week.

Poppy, you are so proficient in imagery and this story was so much fun! I'd love to run into James Bond, the latest and greatest one, of course!

Loved this post. You're a talented writer and the pictures are amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! I really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteDo you know what the round structure is, Poppy?
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
DeleteThe round, stone structure is a mitato, used for protection against the elements when making cheese or tending to the herd. They can be seen all over the island, in higher, cooler altitudes.

I have always wanted to go on an outer space adventure and what a perfectly delightful crew and pilot we had! You always bring me joy!
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend Dear Friend~
