November PAD Challenge 2021: Party Crashers

 

The Queen Xenomorph initially appeared in the movie Aliens (1986)
I threw some sparkles and stars on the image 

Content Warning: fantasy gore

the weather outside may be frightful
but nothing can bust up a party
quite like the discovery of a nest of xenomorphs

you may find it miserable
to be gathering beechmast while sleet is soaking through your shoes
while the only sight you wish to see is your bedstead

be sensible and bestow upon your will a ferrule of encouragement
pull up your muffler and silence contrary thoughts
that may lead you to investigating odd ruins

for though you may believe yourself to be clever like a fox
should you penetrate a xenomorph's nest
you will become an unwilling host
as the worst kind of party crasher
prepares to rock your body

The chestburster first appeared in the movie Alien (1979)

~Ornery Notes~
This poem would have been perfect for my October Helloween Poetry Bash. However, the stars were not right. I didn't have the correct prompts aligned. In any case, when you're me, every day is Helloween. 

Also, I had an Aliens-related dream last night that reminded me how much I loved writing Aliens fan faction. I haven't got time for it now, but I will gladly write it again if I ever do.

If you write fan fiction, don't let anyone tell you that it isn't "real" writing. It is. A great deal of what I write might be categorized as Lovecraft fan fiction. I'm okay with that.


Prompt: The Weather

Prompt: Write a party poem

A to Z Blogging Challenge: Let's Put the X in...

 
A to Z Blogging Challenge:
Let's put the X in...What?
by
Tempest LeTrope
 
We could find no poetry style beginning with X.
This lack of x-iness made us complete nervous wrecks.
 
We wracked our brains. It caused us nothing but pain.
We were feeling absolutely downhearted and broken.
About the letter X, what can be spoken?
And then the answer walked through the door.
It was a face we'd seen often before.
 
 
"Why so glum?" asked our Xenomorph chum
"To be blue is nothing but dumb."
"For just 666 Quatloos I'll pen you a rhyme"
"I'll have it ready for you in jig time."
 
But this doesn't mean they can't write a poem or two
We'll leave you to Zane
He'll make it quite plain
That space creatures have rhyming sense too
 
My People Are Misunderstood
by
Zane Xenomorph
 
In the Netherworld, I am accepted
But lots of other places are misdirected
They see me coming and get out their gun
I'm once again having to run
 
I just came into your bar for a beer
You really have nothing to fear
I won't cocoon you family or eat your heart
Bad press makes for a bad start
 
It seems that in days of the future past
My kind was pretty bad ass
But these days we're really quite mellow
You can put down your artillery, fellows
 
From our kind's eggs comes no face hugging freak
Just cute little creatures that chatter and squeak
To breed we don't need a host
Just a hive cozy and warm as toast
 
All we are saying
Is give Xenomorphs a chance
We aren't here to kill you
We just came to dance
 
Peace out.
Zane
 
Thank you, Zane. You saved our bacon from an X-less existence!
Here's your 666 Quatloos, and we'll throw in a can of Spam for good measure!
 
XOXO,
Tempest
