Lavender ... (Triple Tetractys)

Smell
of warm
lavender
purple and green
a wonderful smell to rub on your hands,

that refreshes and brings harmony to
one's sense of peace,
contentment,
relaxed 
calm.

A 
garden's
very own
tranquilizing
plant that won't need a doctor's prescription.

Oh, Sue, your poem recalls the amazing fragrance of Yardley's lavender soap. It does, indeed, bring a "sense of peace" to us. Who needs valium when we have been endowed with lavender and poets who can convey the scent in such a soothing, delightful way. Great work, Sue! Love, Carolyn (Still moving, but was suffering Soup withdrawal so I had to visit.) Love, Carolyn
