Eve Roper Poet Free verse

A Melting Snowball Perfect Night

The half-moon glints a squint seam of a lonely meager light upon the ground.
Night full of sounds as scent of flowers from the garden filled the air.
Reclined on an outdoor lounge chair sated in the cool whiff 
of undisturbed peace; gazing upon the echo 
evening tide enjoying a night of charm, 
night of a mortal dream, the sky 
clear, but for a few clouds 
drifting slothful 
away.

Mick Talbot April 19, 2018 at 2:00 PM O for virtual reality, I sat there with you, mentally aware of the sounds, the perfumed breeze. My head turned to the sky, counting satellites; "Aliens", you teased in good cheer. We both laughed... I did for real, my wife asked, "Do share the joke, my dear". Virtual reality, aliens, my retort, she looked at me quite queer. "Your back on Earth, a cup of tea will set you free from virtual to real". It did, but that's not for you, just me. Congratulations on your win... Mick
