Elves and Cream

by Mary Akor aged 20

The moon, a distant friend, followed me,
that was all I could see.
In my dreams, it housed elves and fairies,
feeding me sweet cream and cakes.
Coloured and plain.
But with a blink of my eyes, my moon friend warned,
as the sun rose, to disguise
its loyal companion; now I am
Left alone with a big, bright face.

    A lovely poem, Mary. But a gentle reminder that the age limit for The Poetry Zone is 18.
