Mysterious Black Box Poem by Richard Wlodarski
Mysterious Black Box
Aliens have found their way
Into my compelling dreams
They don't look like in movies
They don't sound like Mork from Ork
They don't talk using their voice
But they're communicating
And not just through intriguing dreams
Their method of choice: Black Box
They're targeting Poem Hunter
And yes, I know this to be true
Because I'm seeing the Black Box
Which isn't visible to all
Kim hasn't yet encountered it
Guess his humour has somehow jammed it
Kim, you are coming through loud and clear
Attack and counter-attack, Attack and defense, Attack and Non-Violence these are the available tools yet we poets are smart enough to deal with it in our own satirical and humorous ways, Isn't it. Thoughtful poem deserving full 5*****
So very true, Dr. Nehal. Love your thoughtful response! And the high score.
Two stars for your poem, Richard, because you have my name in it twice. Ha! Just kidding! Five stars all the way!
The movie I had in mind was made in the 1950's and a remake was made in the 1970's or 1980's and had Jeff Goldblum in it. Plant-like pods would make duplicates of people while they slept. What was the name of that movie?
The move was INVASION of the Body Snatchers,1956. The remake was in 1978. I have seen both. Don't remember which one I liked better.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers 1956: 98% Rating on Rotten Tomatoes & 1978: 92% Rating. Belle, I've seen both movies. Loved them both! And to this day, I still have nightmares just thinking about them.
The movie I mentioned in my other comment is not the one I had in mind at all. 'The Body Snatcher' is a 1945 movie with Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi.

Great poem, Richard! Made me think of the old movie The Body Snatchers. If you've never watched it, you should.
