Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Different Sense

Bacon sizzling in a pan
The aroma makes one hungry
The smell of cooking anywhere
Enjoyed by all and sundry

Tarmacadam on the road
A very pungent smell
Not everyone likes it
To most, it smells like Hell

Freshly mowed lawns
Have a perfume that delights
All the scents of nature
Are those that excite

Perfumed gardens are amazing
Where colours and scents combine
All perfumed naturally
Beautiful and sublime

Why do we need a product?
Manufactured commercially
When all the most exotic bouquets
Come from nature, and they're free

If you read this poem
I really must confess
It wasn't my intention
To enter this contest

I love the scent of most flowers
Not just one or two
My nostrils enjoy other scents
That they relish too.

Tony Hargreaves April 2, 2021 at 11:35 AM Hi Shirley. Those natural scents are sensual. But have no profit potential. So man invents nice fragrant sprays. And corrupts minds to floral ways. Best wishes. Tony. Shirley Hawkins April 4, 2021 at 3:51 PM I love your clever comments Tony. Thank you, I agree with you... I hope you are having a pleasant day....Shirley

Rico Leffanta March 21, 2021 at 11:29 AM As one of the six senses, one can't help but wonder why Coco Chanel did not bottle a cheese perfume .......Aloha!

I agree, four of the senses come into play with cheese... Sight Touch Taste and Smell, Gorgonzola for example....
