Who Am I?
When I saw this prompt, I was immediately intrigued. I tend to write like an open book, but I'm sure there are some things I have not touched upon that are integral to who I am as a person. I feel this challenge has the potential to be a great community builder and allow us to know more about each other. So, here goes nothing:

This was simply perfect 🌟💕
I see, looks like you assume that aliens would visit Earth only upon accidental crash-landing :-) Indeed, a nasty place to stay, who would want to do it willingly :-D
Sweet and beautifully descriptive! 💙Anneliese
This is so beautiful and sweet! The description of honey is gorgeous! Well Done Ashley! This is brilliant work!
Awww, this was like so sweet! I'm sure he would enjoy his stay! Loved your poem!
Great rhymes! Great poem! I enjoyed it very much!
That was really sweet :) Beautifully written, rather funny, and with a great sense of rhythm
As someone who feels like an alien on earth most days… this was like a comfort blanket 🥰✨🕊️ I loved it
Very good, I seriously wouldn't have thought of introducing them to spring but that is a very fitting direction to take a rhyming poem. I like how fully you plunge into the singsong, and let the silliness glitter with spring. Strange prompt, but sounds fun.
Sounds similar to what I would say to them if they landed.
great poem on a side note, the picture reminds me of the teletubbies. Just needs LaLa to run through it with the giggling baby sun.
What a great take on a sci-fi story. I can picture a young teenager as the narrator. Excellent!
