A Martian Sends a Postcard Home

Craig Raine (1979)
Caxtons are mechanical birds with many wings,

and some are treasured for their markings –
they cause the eyes to melt
or the body to shriek without pain.
I have never seen one fly, but
sometimes they perch on the hand.
Mist is when the sky is tired of flight
and rests its soft machine on ground:
then the world is dim and bookish
like engravings under tissue paper.
Rain is when the earth is television.

it has the property of making colours darker.
Model T is a room with a lock inside –
a key is turned to free the world
for movement, so quick there is a film

to watch for anything missed.
But time is tied to the wrist
or kept in a box, ticking with impatience.
In homes, a haunted apparatus sleeps,

that snores when you pick it up.
If the ghost cries, they carry it
to their lips and soothe it to sleep
with sounds. And yet, they wake it up

deliberately, by tickling with a finger.
Only the young are allowed to suffer
openly. Adults go to a punishment room
with water but nothing to eat.

They lock the door and suffer the noises.
alone. No one is exempt

and everyone’s pain has a different smell.
At night, when all the colours die,
they hide in pairs
and read about themselves –

in colour, with their eyelids shut.
2. Fiction
This is any written work that
is not real and which uses
elaborate figurative language.
• Greatest english writer- William Shakespeare
• Greatest sonnet writer- William Shakespeare
• Father of English Literature- Geoffrey Chaucer

B. The Invictus

D. Stopping by the wood in a

people and real world
experiences.
THANK YOU!!! 
• “Start where you are. Use what

you have. Do what you can!
Because a creative man is
motivated by the desire to
achieve, not by the desire to beat
others.”
• -Sir Aki
