What’s that Smell?
Let’s talk about smells, but NOT the bad ones: none of those,
Aromas, let’s say: sweet smells, pleasing to the nose,
Like fresh coffee brewing or bacon frying,
Scents can produce a satisfaction; there is no denying:
Lavender, rosemary, eucalyptus, lemon,
And perfumes and colognes made for men & for women,
Or the fragrance of flowers: gardenia -the best,
Oh, soap in the shower provides an invigorating ‘Zest’,
Lotions of all varieties and candles are everywhere:
Fresh linen, vanilla, herbs and citrus, if we dare,
And let’s not forget the mouth-watering scents,
Of a bakery shop, and all of its contents:
Fresh baked cookies and breads, cakes and pies,
And what about fast food hot French fries?
The smell of autumn is definitely pumpkin spice,
The turkey baking at Thanksgiving is sure to entice,
Peppermint candy canes at Christmas are refreshing,
Along with cinnamon, clove, ginger and nutmeg, (I’m guessing),
In spring, freshly cut grass gives our noses a tease,
Followed by honeysuckle aroma floating along in the breeze,
The smell of newly laundered sheets as we crawl into our beds,
Causes us to fall fast asleep, when we lay down our heads,
Smell, aroma, scent, fragrance, odor- whatever we call it,
We should pick up a scent and retrieve the
benefits from it!
