Sleep

Sleep
To wait
for a dream
wonderous scenes
of piquant parfaits
with a blended relish
of creamy fruit and almonds
savoring and ready to eat
daunted by an ogre's appearance
who gobbles it down and awakens you

A very sweet etheree, with the ogre appearing in the end in his dream to gobble up all that creamy fruit. It reads like when you tell a story to a child at bedtime,, and they pretend like they're real scared, giggling all the while... I want to thank you for your supporting my contest,, and Congrats Ralph on a very fine win with this wonderfully written piece! Best wishes...

Hi, Congrats on your win. How apt. Just as the dream takes you on a delicious journey the next course appears which is spoiled and errgh! wakes us up. Well put together. All the best Theresa xx
