There is a land called Gather

 

populated by so many friendly people

 

We all want to travel to the moon

 

Does transportation matter?

 

 

Some of us have already landed

 

and are quite happy here

 

We don't worry about too much

 

There is nothing to bring fear

 

 

There is a way that has been made

 

for us to have the oxygen we need

 

it is manufactured easily

 

from dandelion seed

 

 

The is the main ingredient

 

that makes up this old moon

 

So don't be afraid to visit us

 

Snap your fingers and say zoom

 

 

Now you may think this is impossible

 

but technology has advanced

 

with such a great velocity

 

nothings been  left to chance

 

 

The atmosphere is lovely now

 

dandelions in full bloom

 

friends are gathering and singing songs

 

dancing on the moon

 

 

So when your heart envisions it

 

and your mind is set in gear

 

remember snap your fingers

 

And you can be with us up here

Wrote this for Sci-Fi , Genre Creatives, and just for fun, a lighter side of me.

Will this migraine go away on the moon? If so, I'm there! Actually, it is much better or I wouldn't be online. I actually stayed away from the computer all day!

Elsie this is such a great poem and now I gotta get packed
for that trip to the moon. First I need to find Elvis and make
sure he brings his guitar for William to play for us while we
do the singing. I sent you an email about dandelions Elsie
at yahoo. I'm headed for 3,125 again! And that inclusion
William put in his article was so sweet of him. Cause I did
whine a whole bunch! Bad Barbie!
Count me in, Elsie! :)
Gorgeous picture, Sue!

Lovely Elsie.
This is just cute!!!
Wilma M. Sep 11, 2007, 9:28pm EDT
Love that picture, Sue. You know I'm already up there with you, Elsie. It's so peaceful up here except when Elvis, Barbie and William start in with their singing.
Alison Pearce Sep 11, 2007, 9:29pm EDT
Excellent example of how wonderfully varied the genre of sci-fi is Elsie! Fun and creative.

Most of the time I don't like science fiction, but I love this!
Cheryl W. Sep 11, 2007, 9:34pm EDT
Wonderful poem, Elsie!
Elsie Duggan Sep 11, 2007, 9:35pm EDT
Sue, where did you get that picture, and Wilma and Reena, I was trying to upload a picture for this all day and couldn't get it to work, thank you for these.
Sue D. Sep 11, 2007, 9:36pm EDT
I would love the opportunity to get away. I can just imagine us all up there with dandelions, ants and God knows what else!
Sue * Sep 11, 2007, 9:49pm EDT
Mine is from photobucket. The only problem is you never know if they are going to be normal sized, or big things like this one!
Deborah W. Sep 11, 2007, 9:55pm EDT
Elsie dabbles into the Si-Fi....how neat is that?...and did a great job, that is no surprise.{ And Sue, very lovely rendition of the moon.} Thanks for sharing the fun.

Donald M. Sep 11, 2007, 10:44pm EDT

Julie R. Sep 12, 2007, 1:11am EDT
Elsie, I was just thinking of my last trip to the moon with you and wondered if I would go again. Now I know the secret. Just snap my fingers and go!
lynn a. Sep 12, 2007, 2:02am EDT
This is great. You're sure there are no allergies there? Dandelion dust and Dandelion seed? Or are they the non-allergenic variety. Well, if you're there they must be fine. Not to worry.
Heather C. Sep 12, 2007, 2:03am EDT
I have too many things going on right now, I can't leave, but I'll be there as soon as I can!
Carole D. Sep 12, 2007, 2:33am EDT
Oh good, Elsie... I was hoping you'd have some more dandelions ready this week... I'm ready to go! :-)
lynn a. Sep 12, 2007, 3:16am EDT
Some Dandelion iced tea would be very nice.
Cristina S. Sep 12, 2007, 4:55am EDT
Love the poem Elsie! I'm posting a dandelion for you right now!
Jo C. Sep 12, 2007, 5:36am EDT
I DO believe, I DO believe, I DO believe.....
Minakshi w. Sep 12, 2007, 6:24am EDT
Elsie, with you, Wilma, Barbie and William AND Elvis....plus all the friend here...how could anyone stay away???
I am coming..!
Nana to Seven Cutiepies Sep 12, 2007, 9:28am EDT
I better hurry up before it gets too crowded.
Donald M. Sep 12, 2007, 10:02am EDT
I think its real nice of you to open the doors and allow others to the country club on the moon.
Heather W. Sep 12, 2007, 10:22am EDT
A delightful poem, Elsie

Elsie, you are a landscape - a new land. Love your work.
William Dotani Sep 13, 2007, 1:26am EDT
I will bring my dandelion weed killer and plant blue flowers, so we can have a blue moon.
Peg Doak Sep 13, 2007, 5:47am EDT
Awe William, how about both.
Elsie this is soo cool. It feels like we are already there. You're writing is inclusive. and clear. I forgot to mention that in your piece about Mark. I didn't want to miss a word. You are a gifted lady my dearest.
