The Fragrance of Rain

I'm not sure what God sprayed Smells like angel - scent While raindrops falling, an aroma detected Light - fresh smell of earth That captive my senses Emotions, desires, leading me everywhere Evokes memories of joy and laughter Feels like in a bed of roses A "FLORAL SCENT", light, pleasant and feminine Or in a green pasture Blends with leaves and herbs A "NATURE - INSPIRED SCENT", relaxing and great Am I in a deep sea? Smells refreshing and zingy; an "AQUATIC SCENT" hit me Think its "CITRUS SCENT", cut oranges and lemon tangy Enchanting - elusive, an "ORIENTAL SCENT" Sensual, irresistible, warm and passionate Something sweet as honey, my dear "VANILLA SCENT" Seems I'm dressed with perfumes all around Affordable, impressive and the cleanest of all Now catching all the raindrops, I will not let it pass The fragrance of rain to sniff all day.

Wow, Nette! I know its too late but better late than never! I thank you for the chance of joining your contest. It feels great writing this one because it took me back on my younger years. My old days played that role of identifying the essence of the rain and the smell it gives. Thank you for choosing this as one of your lucky winners. Love you always, Nette!

Thanks, Andrea! I miss you and the rest of the soupers. Just got back here on soup. Been a while. Yap, I was really inspired doing this one. I was injected of good memories back in the old days. As we all know, if its not sunny, its rainy here in the Philippines. I always play under the rain when I was a kid. That helped me in recognizing the real fragrance of the rain. Advance Merry Christmas. Love,love,love! :-) - Den

When it rains, it pours! It pours variety of fragrances that are sentimental and just. It sets the mood. It brings comfort. Amongst the other scents, its peculiar and the best! Love,love,love! :-) - Den
