A poem for Tofino, about Tofino

Ode to Tofitian Rain What is in Tofino rain that makes it smell so sweet? A blend of berries, a certain strain of sea salt, fog and peat it smells of woodsmoke, tangy fir and kelp washed up on shore it smells of bitter evergreen and dampened black bear fur, blackberry wine that I just poured and roasted coffee bean it smells of maple, honeycomb it smells of earth it smells like home.

Makes us all a bit jealous. It just poured here this morning and it smelled like, well, like rain. Nicely descriptive Lacey
