Awakened

Very nicely written! I enjoyed this, I will be reading more, in next day maybe two! Thank you for sharing this ??????

Beautifully penned, Darlene. How awful to be awake by that awful smell. Strange happens in the night. Have a great day my friend.

Vivid and sensory—your poem captures the tension between serenity and disturbance in a way that really sticks with the reader.

Pity to awake to a bad smell. Use some scented spray. Lovely compact poem.

This is very nice . Keep up the writing

Such a foul scent to bear, dear Darlene. May your day unfold with gentle grace, a tapestry woven with moments bright and warm.

Smells like somebody's either fired up the barbecue grill, or are practicing a funky new way to hold a wake. Wake-n-Bake! Always stir, never shake! A funeral pyre and choir maybe? I suggest rubbing a little Vicks under your nose before it blows!

Oh my. That sounds like an awful smell to endure Darlene. I hope you have a nice day :)

sounds like our former neighbors...let's just say, they were less than considerate. But hooray, they moved last month.

Frustrating. Most of us try to keep our properties, gardens and air clean as possible...and then you have those, that just don't care. I feel for you. Your write is a very vivid reminder. Well done Darlene.

I enjoyed reading your wonderful "Awakened" write. Guess it was birds singing. Have a blessed day writing away.............

I hope that’s not the smell of a skunk. It sure does linger for a long time. I love my nightly walks as they are pleasant except when a skunk decides to visit. Enjoyed reading,

Scary poem.
