Cake of Soap

A cake of soap vanishes as it cleanses Leaving the smell of freshness in its wake One of the reasons I appreciate incenses I can go out in public, for goodness’ sake! Written June 13, 2022 submitted to "Bite Size No. 47" Poetry Contest sponsored by Line Gauthier

I love the concept of something vanishing while it is doing what it is supposed to do.

There is nothing like a great bar of soap - I love Zest the best; this reminds me of how much I want to buy Zest, weirdly enough.

I use a shower gel myself, but when it comes to soap I have a friend who makes soaps with all different kinds of scents. I like them, and I place them around the house as air fresheners.
