Stranger in a Land

Stranger in a Land

A Poem by Mark
"

Feeling like a no no..

"
I am a martian
designed in red dust
fired in passion and lust
I feel.
Broken communication; I am
Confused, I don't understand
the language assumed by this land.
I reel.
Singular and isolate
I travel, I don't care where
Moving through this human fair
I deal.

No doubt many can relate to this in, one way or another.
I liked the way you structured the piece and the conclusion.

Would be hard for a martian to understand this planet. We barely can understand each other. I like the thoughts and the logic of this poem. Thank you for the excellent poem.

brings to mind someone who is in despair and isolated. as a last resort it shows coping with where he is. also shows apathy and indifference. great poem.

Such an imaginative write! Very creative, indeed! You provide us with a good perspective of how a Martian would feel if he were to come here alone. I love the line "designed in red dust". At first I just thought it was a really awesome and poetic line, but then I realized that Mars is red :P I feel sorry for this Martian and at times we actually can relate to him. So, by any chance, would this Martian be you?

This is thought provoking... Confusion sets in.
Sometimes we get lost in translation... However, it's the effort to continue to move on, and "deal" with trying to understand the Strange land that we are in... Nice write!
