Aromatic Garden

Memories flood my mind with glee sweet aromatic smell of fresh cut grass reminds me of childhood young and free, father a young man, my mother sweet lass, we would sit on our lawn lemonade in glass, mother and father sitting in their deck chairs I’m perched on his knee, relaxed by strong smell of brylcreem from his long thick raven black hair which complimented fresh cut grass so well nasal delights, feel safe protected, wrongs dispel, those summer days in our garden of loveliness perfume filled the air from old English rose content, totally relaxed by warmth and stillness now our garden all tidy, mother and father doze in shade provided by fragrant weeping willows. 3/15/2018

Roy, I lost myself in your lovely poetic reverie of you as a lad with your Mum and Dad during summer days in your garden with memorable and beautiful scents. A captivating and alluring poem, my friend. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
