There's stories and rumors passed down
that Extra-terrestrials visited Earth
a very long time ago.
Their presence impacted culture.
Their knowledge enhanced society.
Ancient legends tell of it all.
They became the gods of old,
that stories obscurely recall.
One day, I was walking along,
enjoying the woods and the beach
on a path I had often walked
with a large boulder marking the turn.
I'd never before walked behind it,
but today was providing a lull.
As I looked at its back, I was startled.
Not a rock -- an alien skull.
I've studied this subject before.
This skull had that classical shape --
with an oversized cranium forehead
that tapers to a narrow chin.
Much like an inverted pear
with a face that the tales portray
about those encounters from space -
an alien known as a Gray.
Now there right before me it is.
Revealing the hidden unknown.
Like a head from Easter Island,
The Maori stones of the Rapanu,
or the Olmec's colossal heads.
Released of all former pretense.
The proof has been sitting right here.
This skull is Alien evidence.

Author Notes
Doesn't this huge stone look like an Alien head? I spotted it in the woods where I walk, and have gone past it many times. This time I approached it from behind, just as described. It will become one of my Animated Stills Collection.
If you are familiar with the TV shows The X Files, or Ancient Aliens, then you know what I mean by a Gray.
This Poem is an A L'Arora.
The A L'Arora is a form created by Laura Lamarca. The A L'Arora is named after her as "La" is her signature. "Aurora" is Italian and means "dawn" - "Arora" is derived from this. It consists of 8-lined stanzas. The rhyme scheme for this form is:
a, b, c, d, e, f, g, f,
with no syllable count per line. The minimum length for the poem is 4 stanzas with no maximum length stipulation. This format combines both the freedom of a Free Verse poem, but adds a tiny bit of structure by stipulating the number of lines, and fixing a rhyme pairing at lines 6 and 8 of each stanza. So you have a hybrid here of both Free Verse and structured rhyming verse.
