ALIEN SURPRISE - A SPACE SONNET

We put on our masks and started our dive Way down the abyss: we felt pressure rise. Before us we saw the lights of the hive; We couldn't believe, we could only surmise. In front of our eyes, the structure took shape; We must now go slow, we couldn't be seen; With places to hide, and care not to scrape; We hid in the rocks; our senses were keen. Our mission was simple; we must not fail To plant our load of destruction and run. If we did not succeed to lift the veil, The life of the world would surely be done. A loud explosion ripped up to the air; The alien menace: no longer there!
