An Ode to My Nose

 Oh nose, you hold the prime place on my face.
Your length makes me so sensitive to smell.
Every scent, I am the first to trace.
With Pinocchio nose, I look a sight
But am grateful as you sustain my breath
If you go on strike, think of my plight!

Congrats! But am grateful as you sustain my breath…indeed. My best friend’s husband has nose cancer. Oh how grateful we should be. Prayers for Gary!

Congratulations, Valsa, on your high placement in this contest with a lovely and light poem cleverly crafted to arouse smiles in this cold wintry season (though at my place, summer is often showering its warm sunshine, except when it is cloudy or rainy). Sending you blessings of light.
