People speak of love at first sight
With Vampires, it's love at first bite

Thank you, dear Bipasha. Poems like this are such fun to write, as well as to read!
A work of active imagination, well articulated and nicely encapsulated with a tinge of humour. Lovely poem. Thanks for sharing Poetess.
Chinedu, I'd be hard-pressed to choose which makes for better poetry- - an active imagination, or real-life inspiration. I suppose that both have their place. I had fun writing this one! :)
A very FUNNY poem about love on Mars! It made most everyone laugh. The pictures that I get in my mind when I read my poem are of creatures similar to Marvin the Martian of Looney Toons (Bugs Bunny) fame, or perhaps like Disney's Wall-E, from the film.

Thank you as always, Rebecca! I love how enthused you get, with all your many exclamation points! :)
Nice imagery mam. I loved the poem. The short poem deserves a huge 10+++.I cordially invite you to read my poem Love and confession of a martyr. Thanks.
Thank you very much, Binaya. I hope my poem made you laugh (or at least smile!)
A nice poetic imagination, Poetess. You may like to read my poem, Love and Lust. Thanks
'Love at first blip'-a fine variation on 'love at first sight'. I believe there is such a thing as love at first sight, and I found your poem very humorous too. Michael.
Thank-you, Michael! Did you ever hear of an old television show called My favourite Martian? Perhaps there are old reruns of it on youtube. Take care, now.
Yes, it has put a smile on my face and brightened up a dreary day....... I'm fine thanks, hope you are too!
Happy that I could give you cause for a smile, Alison! Let's keep our sunny sides up!
Hello, Kumarmani. Appreciate that word captivating! Thanks for your comment! Glad you enjoyed.
Thank-you, Tom! (It may not be as illusive as we think, if it even shows up on other planets!) :)
a funny poem of that illusive thing called love always finding a way? .....................well penned.
Thank you, Barry. I can always count on you- - to the moon and back! Whereas I like to leave things to the readers' imaginations, I notice that you frequently post pictures with your poems. Should I have added a pic of Marvin the Martian from the old Bugs Bunny cartoons? hahaha!
Great poem, short, punchy, to the point!
