L Milton Hankins Poet Light Verse

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!

Ann Foster June 15, 2022 at 5:06 PM Soap is important. Excellent write. Ann L Milton Hankins June 15, 2022 at 7:13 PM I love the concept of something vanishing while it is doing what it is supposed to do.

Caren Krutsinger June 15, 2022 at 7:16 AM 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. L Milton Hankins June 15, 2022 at 9:52 AM 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.
