Artificial Reality in Fruit and Veg

Melon in a game is like
Melon Lolly’s sugar spike,
Though 1 not fit for a hike.

Strolling in a raspberry field
Blows a bubbly, breezy yield
Of endorphins – worry’s shield.

Fruit juice enhances smoothies –
Sipping to scenes of movies
Allows me to maintain smooth knees.

Crunching on roast potatoes
Puts a pause on my great woes,
As do late poetry shows.

For today, I’m vedging out
Before the morrow’s day out
When I’ll get to vent, not shout.

Good one, Terry. I enjoyed reading it. Yes, those melons give us a quick lift from the sugar but don't really have staying power. Thank you for sharing this one with us. Way to go. 👏✍️ Sara K.
