Fragrant lilacs with flowers of purple, white or pink As a sweet half-remembered kiss in my grandmother's garden They smell of June and summer A breathtaking scent that comes floating with the breeze The sweet, intoxicating aroma while nymphs dance in joy The fond memories emerge the ticket back to when I was young Silky soft feeling born in a cocoon in muted colors and soft light The scent of nostalgia in a dimension beyond the visual 19/03/2021 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved Favorite Scent(s) Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Chantelle Anne Cooke 2nd place in the contest

My lilacs are so fragrant, they bring my grandmother back to me also. "The sweet, intoxicating aroma while nymphs dance in joy " Nicely done! As if a faerie penned this.

I did not grow up with beautiful gardens. I saw my grandparents once a year and a couple of times us kids wore trumpet flowers on our fingers. As a poet I want to know the names of trees, flowers, birds...taking it all in.
