The exercise:

Write two haiku about: aliens.

From your comment catch-up it would seem that the migraine has finally packed its bags and taken its leave of you; I hope it doesn't return for a couple of years :) I hadn't noticed the Mines of Moria vibe myself, but it's been a few years since I last re-read the Lord of the Rings so maybe I'm tuned in to it subconsciously. It might not be a bad idea to sit down with that book again, though :)

Aliens
Aliens arriv'd,
Met world leaders and told them:
One out of ten -- fail.

Our world is poorer
Since they left us alone on
Earth, banned us from space.

Greg - yeah, so far so good. Had a bit of a lesser headache today, but that was almost certainly due to the smoke.

And reading the Lord of the Rings is never a bad move, in my opinion.

I feel as though there is a story to be told of aliens that look like moose. Or that *are* moose...

Excuse me, I have some pondering to do.
