Hey, Craig, I can't catch up to all the poems I've missed this year, but I selected a handful that I've missed to enjoy them and let you know my thoughts on.
This one has the undercurrent of wanting to embrace the sauciarian, get into their shoes, but also throws out there that saucarians might be hitting some sauce to become them.
I'm not a true saucarian, but I recall one time when I was a kid, I was pretty sure I saw one. Though, being a kid, no one would believe me... and as an adult, I don't even believe myself... the good old, eh... it was probably something explainable, but since I was a kid, I couldn't explain it so figured it an alien saucer.

There are things I know I saw and heard as a kid that, to this day, I swear could not possibly be imagination. Like the voices in the fireplace when I was home alone. Adult Craig says there is nothing else it could have been, and yet...
Most thankful, once again.
Craig
Comment from Bill Schott
This sonnet, Night Terrors, has the formatting of a sonnet, though finds places to break the meter for story's sake, and gives a questionable accounting of a close encounter of the 'herb' kind.

Thanks, Bill. If you think this account is questionable, I won't start on relating the 'probing' incident!
Comment from Pearl Edwards
I'm sure there's plenty of saucerians out there but alas I'm not one either. This was a fun read Craig. After X Files, all those beers and a joint or two, one wouldn't know what they were seeing. LOL
cheers,

Hi Craig, I really enjoyed reading your saucerian sonnet. What a clever write, and even though I am not a recreational drug user, I thought the stoner humor was witty. Good use of meter and rhyming throughout, and excellent incorporation of the word of the day.

I don't do drugs either, Pam, and bottle shops would go broke if all their customers drank as regularly as I do, but it doesn't stop me writing poems about it. Maybe I'm a wannabe lol
Thanks for the great review :)

Very welcome. I am too :)
Comment from Dawn Munro
I think, perhaps, that you should watch romance,
instead of shows like X-Files and the likes...
You're bound to have a nightmare, and perchance
awaken all your livestock yelling, "Yikes!"
Imagination plays apart, you know,
and even in your sleep, you'll be afraid.
A writer should not ever watch a show
wherein the aliens are not bard-made.
(*stooooo-pid grin*)

I'll have you know, this man's man just cannot
abide a chick-flick film, no way no how.
Some measurement of self-respect I've got,
if "she" found out, she'd likely have a cow!
I'll stick to westerns, crime shows and the like
and spooky stuff that makes one want to scream;
and if that's not your cuppa, on your bike!
I'm on the Bronson-Eastwood cowboy team.
I do enjoy the X-Files - what's the harm?
That Gillian is one fine looking chick.
And don't you think Duchovny's got some charm?
Some of those weird plot-lines are really slick.
Thanks for the fun review, and all the lovely, shiny stars, Dawn ;-)

Little green men and their saucerian ships make my day. On my bucket list was a trip to Roswell, NM a few years ago. Checked that one off. I enjoyed reading this humorous piece, especially second stanza. Please tell me no cows were hurt in the writing of this fun piece. Marilyn

Was Roswell all you expected? I'll have to go and count the neighbour's cows. I have a few species, but not that one :) Many thanks, Marilyn. Cheers, Craig

I WAS so excited to go to Roswell. Yes, all I expected. UFO museum was great. Archive section for hard core UFOlogists to read if researching. A lot of "campy" stuff, too. I've been to several MUFON conferences and love it. Marilyn
Comment from Gloria ....
Oh my land! So there's where my trike went. Pfff. I looked all over for that thing for years. Ha, A terrific sonnet and linking all these sights in with hitting too much of the flying sauce er was a stroke of genius.
It's not a sham you know. :))

LOL have you had your own close encounter of the LGM kind, Gloria? Many thanks for the fun review :) Craig
Comment from lyenochka
Lol. Well, from reading the poem, I wouldn't have thought any of your disclaimers necessary. It seems that drugs and alcohol and watching X-files is the perfect way to become a saucerian!

I imagine it doesn't hurt, Helen! I suppose this is not a good time to mention we have the box set of every episode of the X-Files ever made? lol Thanks for reviewing :) Craig

lol. One of my friends loved that show. I think you're fine as long as you limit your intake of beer to a reasonable amount.
Comment from bichonfrisegirl
If I believe in Aliens, would I be an Alienarian? :) I gotta say that if I saw a flying saucer suck up a cow and then spit out the carcass, I'd be a 'saucerian' too. Clearly the beers and joints played a role.
This is fun and creative, Craig. Who knows what we'd see if we watched enough X-Files, and drank and smoked enough? I love your plausible explanation for the sighting.
May the force be with you!
Cheers,
Connie

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written sonnet about the possibility of flying saucers or UFO'S. I never saw one myself either but I trust the ones who claim to see them were not drunk or drugged.

No doubt there are other possible explanations. Many thanks, Sandra! Cheers, Craig
