The Mars images have been a source of fascination for me ever since the Viking days and they just get more and more fascinating. I think Martians would be better off red or brown so they could blend in to hunt the other Martians :) Thanks, angie.

I've been captivated by the images from the rover lately -- out of context, they could be anything from slugs to tattoos. we really do bend and twist reality to fit our own perceptions. wonderful poem, btw. I love the idea of pomegranate people. (more perception -- aren't martians supposed to be green?) ;) it is a fascinating subject, mars.
