The Perfect Welcome

What They are Really Like

By Katie LewisPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
What we thought they would look like vs. the reality

They weren’t what anyone expected

As they landed and introduced themselves with our heads like we were connected

Their skin was too perfect and smooth

They almost looked human but like forever in youth.

They had digital images erupt from their arms

It’s how they communicated they meant us no harm

We knew they were real but it was still a little shocking

We always thought they were grey or green and big eyes bulging

With their digital images they asked us to show them around

It’s the only way to know what they want, they didn’t make a sound

We took them to the theater, the stage not the movie kind

We thought music and art would be a great experience to the mind

We never expected the emotional response they had

They moved with the music and felt the scenes good and bad

If they could cry I’m certain they would have

What I would give to hear them laugh

I’m not sure why were so afraid

I guess the unknown makes us that way

They were thankful to us for being so nice

Next we were taking them to Disney on Ice!
