I never said they were UFOs There were six of them, as I recall And six of us that starry night In remoteness of a river canyon Talking of our rocky flight In Piper Cub over Diamond Mountain Resting then in wilderness There were six of them that starry night Of tropic breeze and quietness In bumpy jeep on rocky road Our destination was a friend And he could tell you sure as I That there were surely six of them His home a small abode of wood The occasion very pleasure filled Til six of them appeared that night In middle of a vaste Brazil We were friends , the six of us On hammocked porch just having fun The six of them came suddenly Just on the heels of setting sun Hovering over tropic trees Not too far and not too close In silent row the six of them Stayed their stay before they rose It seems they knew our presence there Just dropping in to say hello Like six old friends they greeted us In reddened iridescent glow Hanging there 'gainst starry sky Sleek like six long submarines Putting on a puppet show Giant ships on puppet strings Repeat performance every night A local said, the same old thing We watched the encore then next night Those six old friends on puppet strings Six of us on star lit porch As I said, to see a friend I never said they were UFOs I only said there were six of them Elizabeth Santos |

Six friends...six lights...all of my friends are a light unto myself. Beautiful and thought provoking. ------------------ Once I was brilliant, now I no longer shine, but the twinkle in my eye speaks of another time. |

RS, Thank you sir for your comments. Actually, they appeared every night for over a year and when they left that site would then slowly pass over a nearby town. Elizabeth |

Sy, No one would believe it And I knew you wouldn't For if you didn't see it Believing it you couldn't Your answer tells me that You think that I did not But I just said that there were six I didn't say six of what They were birds, Sy Six big wingless iridescent glow-in-the-dark birds, stationary for an hour in mid air, then zoomed up and out. I just knew you would't believe it! Thanks for reading Love ya |

Elizabeth , I have much enjoyed all that I have read of your postings . You certainly have a varied palette you are working from ( I think mine is missing a few colors by comparison ).Wonderful flow and imagery . As with others , if I don't comment much , that's just words , I don't want to wear them out . |

I believe you Liz. I was in one of the UFOs. Bet you didn't know that I was an alien. Seriously though I do believe you.  |
