Sired of otherworldly beings
I look to the sky longing for home
Long-thread genetic code
Embedded in my DNA
Needs no ears; internal radar hears all
Chin up, buttercup, they telecommunicate
Earthbound plane is a temporary physical existence

Whoaaaa, this was a very unique and creative take on the challenge! I loved it!
I like it a lot. First, I must comment that you got the acrostic form down perfectly. I like this because it's different from many of the others. I like the futuristic theme. Excellent work!
Very Cool =) I like this one alot! one of my favorite Silence submissions ive read so far!
Marilyn, this is certainly a different and interesting poem for this contest. I posted ten poems today for this contest if you would like to read them.
