Poem Title:
Poem
It was New Years Eve so they decided to have a special dinner for two they ate spinach, noodles, and ham with a dab of orange mustard glaze red candles burned softly on the linen cloth, as the old year flew They watched Alice in Wonderland with the fireplace ablaze ; At 8, he made a nice espresso coffee with Bailey and served it hot with lemon filled panettone. It was a lovely middling snack. She tried to keep her eyes open but the night was gloaming with umbra so she went upstairs and faded into sleep dreaming of spells plasma and levitations Try as she may, the knowledge of New Year was far away until exactly midnight then, RATTLE RATTLE (went the doorknob) It woke her from her sleep "Happy New Year" she said half sleepy to a silent door. She assumed it was hubby entering the room. Hubby was still downstairs messaging. (THE GHOST OF NEW YEARS EVE) "I saw her through the key hole she was fast asleep. I checked on him. He was sitting on a couch waiting for midnight. I figured I better get her up, so I jiggled the doorknob loud enough to wake her. It wasn't very hard for she slept like a hollow egg shell. " RATTLE RATTLE went the doorknob. By morning she realized her visitor must have been an alien from outer space. She combed her hair, washed her face then with coffee perched on a desk wrote a true story. The first one on poetry soup. (smile) Ghosts are real. If you believe it, you see it , if you don't, you won't . and yes, it was a real good meal.... January 1, 2019 contest name: Slap the muse and turn it loose
