Thanks so much Nomad.
Your poems really good too!
It's so lively with great images.
Wonderful poems everyone!
I enjoyed them all

Well there are some fine Poems here I am really awed by the response. Ms Nomad ...... I too love the scent of fresh made bread... You took me back there.... as did Karen with her honeysuckles. This is a sweet smelling bloom. It took me back to childhood as when I was small we used to take the blooms and suck the sweetness out of them. Excellent poems everyone

A Fragrance So Sweet and Clean

The scent that took me back to my childhood
Is a memory that has lasted for years,
I twist the cap and inhale the fragrance
Then quietly let go of my tears.

She used it on me as a child
It's scent was pure and clean,
I keep it on my bathroom shelf
That's how it's always been.

Each day mom's memories come to me
As I twist and turn the lid,
I feel her touch my childhood soul
I so wish I was still a kid.

My children and the grandkids alike
Have shared in this wonderous smell,
Oh how I love mom's baby powder
It's scent is one that will never fail.

Oh Lindamay this is truly beautiful..... I too remember those smells...... and yes I used them on my own kids too. God how fast time passes. I want to say well done because it everyone has done a wonderful job with this challenge. Thank you all.


Love.

Thank you Mysty, some scents just never never go away. Thank you for the kind reply.

Wonderful imagery Lindamay. I too love, LOVE baby powder. It always seems to represent the fresh and clean and new...Hope in a container, so to speak.

Nomad

Thank you Nomad, appreciate the reply, plus it's so nice to know that I"m not the only one who thinks along these lines ... it is a fresh, clean scent, which is what most mothers smell like to us when we were little (and even when we're all grown up!)

Beautiful poems everyone each any every scent written about brings back some very fond memories and a couple of sad ones also each poem is written with elegance, beauty, and magnificent aromas from our childhood.
