Not sure what I can contribute. I lost most of my sense of smell a long time ago. Mostly what I remember is burning leaves in the autumn, smell of new mown grass and fresh (phew!) country air in the spring, lol. Of course, there's also the aromatic scent of skunk roadkill after running over it.
I'm not sure what I can come up with. Give me a while to think about it. I was going to say I don't have scent memories but was able to come up with those, lol.
LoL Gail ..... I am sure you will remember more.... I am truly sorry you are afflicted with that though. God if I had to lose one of my senses... I don't know what I would choose... Anyways look forward to your contribution
Thank you so much Mysty and I'm so thrilled
spring is here and then summer and those pesky bugs are back in town...lol
So glad you enjoyed my poem, thanks again*hug*
Hi Kim, it's not summer here now.
It's raining and chilly here in Pa. too.
All it seems to do anymore is rain.
I can't wait till it gets warmer and this rain stops.
I'm glad you liked my poem, thank you
Memories of Childhood Scents
~
The scent that took me back to my childhood
Is the sweet aroma of the white and red roses
That started to blossom at the start of spring
Every-time I reminisce of you, my sweet love
As the cool spring breeze filters their captivating
Aroma I imagine your aura,
~
I wish you were here
~
When-ever I think of you it reminds me
Of the trees budding leaves sways
In the gentle refreshing spring breeze
As I catch the aroma of jasmine in your long beautiful hair
As it floats in the morning breeze
~
I wish you were here
~
While I relax in front of the fragrant burning embers
I think of you as I gaze at the grey-blue skies-
With thoughts of your magnificent blue eyes
I am in awe of your majestic beautyKnowing my love for you will never die
~
I wish you were here
~
As the sweet aroma of the roses from my childhood
Are immersed in the morning’s brilliance
I think of your gentle radiant smile
Observing the velvet star-fulled sky
I feel your soul embracing me
And your spirit in my Heart.
The scent that takes me back to my childhood
lingers every summer on warm breezes.
When I smell the sweet air it’s understood,
the child in me is free as time freezes.
I remember as a child I’d suck them
and sweet juices of the honeysuckle
ran down my fingers as I held the stem,
much like the juices of a popsicle.
Sweet memories play on the summer breeze
of honeysuckle blossom and a fence,
a little girl with grass stains climbing trees
and chasing lightning bugs in night suspense.
Honeysuckle takes me back to childhood.
I’d choose to be there now if I but could.
Everyone has a scent
that undoes them
the very fabric
of my soul
is undone…by
fresh homemade bread …
from mamma’s kitchen
with a hint
of beach in the background
slowly, so slowly....
the pieces
click back in place
a soul rejuvenated
Salty air
adds peace…and
tranquility seeps through
fresh rain on green, green leaves…
Limes! Aaah…the smell!
walking by barefoot through
damp sand
raindrops still
delicately hanging
on by fingertips
to gummy curves of bark
still I eat, the bread
freshly buttered
Warm! Aaah, the taste!
Saying hello
to Ms. Cordelia
with her long, long braids
wrapped around her head
girth barely fitting
through her door
ample breasts to cuddle
you on a sad day.
She bakes too....
what a walk of love
passing by the houses
of so many
homemakers
Love gatherers
All bent on making
sure you are full
and satisfied with
the love-made bread.
some great poems here...I can't recall if I've ever smelled Honeysuckle, Karen...I must be missing out! lol! Great job, guys. Nice challenge Mysty!!
