"Martian's Attempt at Earthly Gardening (Part 2)"

Tried gardening again, Alien's persistence, Alien's harvest, a source of our amusement.

By Shadow ScribePublished 2 years ago 1 min read

On Mars, where red dust fills the air,

A Martian with a leafy dream quite rare,

Set foot on Earth, our lush, green sphere,

To try their hand at gardening here.

With Martian tools in hand, they came,

To learn the secrets of Earth's green flame.

They met a gardener, wise and spry,

Who welcomed them with a twinkle in the eye.

The gardener said, "In Earthly soil so rich,

We nurture plants, be they small or which.

With sunlight, water, and gentle care,

They grow and bloom beyond compare."

The Martian nodded, their interest piqued,

As Earth's flora and fauna lay revealed and sleek.

They planted seeds in rows so neat,

And watched as sprouts pushed through with eager feet.

The flowers blossomed, a riot of hue,

In reds, yellows, and violets too.

The Martian marveled at Earth's grand display,

And tended to their garden, day by day.

They learned of seasons, the Earth's sweet song,

How spring brought life, and summer long.

Autumn's harvest and winter's cold,

The cycles of life, a story retold.

With newfound knowledge, they bid adieu,

Promising to return, their gardening debut.

The Martian took Earth's lessons to heart,

A cosmic gardener, ready to start.

And so, on Mars, amid the rusty red,

A garden thrived, by Martian hands led.

With Earthly wisdom and Martian might,

They nurtured life, day and night.
