Aliens

little aliens
nattering away like birds
no lie in today

in alien land
i am an alien less
so than in my own

i am a christian
amongst moslems and hindus
a cultural feat

i'm more comfortable
in this environment than
in my own culture

    Interesting spin on what constitutes an alien! Amazing how cultural comfort may be a leveller!

    i love your take on the prompt..very nicely put.
    Gradually the cultural barriers diminish and disappear, which gives way to your 3rd haiku..nice..

    This is very thought provoking. I love the way you weaved your 4 haikus into one and how the word green was only implied. Blessings!
