Inspired by the movie, 'Signs.'

Of the signs of otherworldly harvests
emptied circles placed in mid-field
a cord and plywood board could do the trick
sets impressionable people guessing..mighty slick
trails of abandoned sparrow nests nearby
sightings of ships in urban skylines...


If this is a good hoax
let me shake the author's extended paw...
across the atmosphere, I hear strange gaffaws
next day will greet me with renewed rationale
and a predicament of choice:
do I believe in the miracle of survival
or am I alone with no hope?

Morning Martin,
I found this very interesting as I have looked into crop circles the past few years.
We had some 'appear' overnight a few years back just outside of town.  You may laugh...but, I am not so sure they are man made.  Perhaps it is the child in me who wants so badly to believe in the unbelievable, the magical...I don't know...but I think I want to go on thinking maybe...perhaps...well....you know...??
~morning hugs~

Martin, I saw "Signs" and enjoyed it..I recall a few circles in the past  but they were done  by  man...the movie supposedly took place in God's Country..Bucks County, PA
a few hours away from me.

not too far from me they  create a corn field maze for charity...

Martin:

A very interesting poem, and although I've yet to see the movie, I believe.  In 1960 my Grandfather, living midpoint between Harrow and Amherstburg, Essex County, Ontario Canada came across a hole in the ground approximately 6 inches in diameter and a weighted rope 40 feet long didn't reach the bottom.  Along about that time, I was doing the summer vacation thing, and had a very disconcerting episode of waking up in the hay behind the barn around 5am when the cows came up for milking.  The previous night I had been sitting on the slant roof of the back shed around 2am writing poetry by flashlight and moonlight.  About twenty-five years later a regression session brought out the rest of the details, about which I will write someday.

Approximately 8 years ago, in a farmers field adjacent to the old farm, a very large grouping of crop circles was found.

I believe because I have no choice.

haven't seen the movie, but surely you are not alone and there is hope

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Nancy,

I agree about your doubt and the fact that we have been cavorting with UFOs for so long leads me to believe we are not alone too..

Vas,

I do think there is a reson for all this...if I can call that hope

I read this earlier and came back to look--and funny, I never had this burning need to know about such "signs" as these (and yes, I know I must see this movie---um...I'm not doing anything t'morrow...y'check with yer wife? grin...I'll check with my husband, and if they say it's okay? I say it's a good sign!)

but? truly, crop circles always amused me...

There is a cynic in me, that murmers..."oh yeah. RIGHT. There are advanced beings in the universe, sending us encoded messages by trampling the crops of a war-torn planet, as so many die of hunger? They take the time to trample the potentiality of food-stuff to send us cryptic messages that we can never understand, and yet? are somehow beautiful....hmmmm...."

I don't get it. (And I'm considered kinda weird too.) But? no...I can't buy it.

I forget the comedian? But? This one gave me quite a chortle, saying, "Just suppose--that crop circles were a really well-thought out ad campaign for "Target" stores!"

And don't get me wrong, I LIKE crop circles..but there's so much more to ponder, yes? Hugs you!

(big hugggssssss) Oh my gosh, I have not yet seen that movie, I heard it was too confusing from some criticisms but I know how interesting this is and I too wish it could mean something while I am sure that overnight UFO's couldn't create those kind of mandalas or touchstones and I only wish there could really be a superstitious reasoning to them all! (sigh) This isn excellent, sweet friend, I love it, I'll probably see Signs when it comes out on video, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martin, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
