There’s life on Mars!

I had forgotten a bag of potatoes in my balcony.
They were partying while beauty was in the making 🙂
Two months later these were the results.
Enjoy the scenery!
All that, much more… or rotten potatoes
—————————————————-
Wearing the hats of an Ascot race
Tentacles stretching out in a plea
Clamoring the human race
For ostentation and allure,
Whichever way you look at me,
Flash your interpretation through
The lens of your soul.
See the bumps and cracks,
Flesh withering, rotting back to life,
Wrinkles and scratches,
Abandoned at a party in a pantry…
Forgotten to nature happening…
To the unfold of beauty in the making.
See it all in its synchronicity.
Love me for I am forever returning.
Expanding, growing…
A reflection in the firth of your desires.
See all that or… decay with no glory.
A smell to toss in an instinct of preservation
Applying the laws of order and cleanliness
Never questioning the
Possibilities of magic happening,
Foulness dissolving into beauty
Mold, as a compass to our mien (1)
Sprouts, extensions to barriers
Crevasses, detour… the scenic route
Catch even a glimpse of life on Mars
Or the gossiper thriving on some
Dripping, luscious, slippery news.
All that and much more, for every eye
Has a story, every mind a book.
Or, just take a glance and toss
Without a second thought,
The rotten potato.

So, that’s what life on Mars looks like…and the eye of the potato has seen it all.
Lovely words that brought a smile… I liked it so much, I showed it to my closest.
I am happy you have discerned the lighter side of this post. I appreciate when my humor pierces through, everyone has his own style and not always does one manage to connect.
Thanks for the feedback 🙂
You’re welcome and keep smiling & writing.
I am and will 🙂
That was a fun alien. Wonderful post and poem.
Thanks so very much for the positive feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Love it!
Thanks, I appreciate you dropping by and welcome!
Gorgeous!
I am happy you enjoyed it and thanks for dropping a comment, it’s appreciated 🙂
Beautiful …. 🙂
Thanks, appreciated 🙂
Potato art – what a neat concept. These photos are so interesting and the analogy of sprouting in the poem is quite clever!
Your comment is very much appreciated. It is nice and encouraging to get positive feedback. It makes the energy invested all the more worthwhile 🙂
You must really love potatoes? 🙂 But I’ll give yhou large credits for the idea!
Exiting, indeed!
No, I don’t! Funnily enough I’m allergic to them but my family isn’t.
The creativity came from a photographer (blogger) who encouraged me through the readings of his posts to look at details & notice them, hence…this post.
So, the credit goes to him…
Thanks for taking time to read & comment.
Wow, wow, wow! These photos are quite scary, but then oppositely beautiful, because they show such a creative mind!
I take that as a compliment 🙂 Thanks for dropping by and commenting, it’s truly appreciated.
