Best Smell Poems

A smell permeates through the house
I’m convinced it must be house mouse

I hunt high and then I hunt low
But the source of the smell it won’t show

I get down on my hands and my knees
The dirt and the dust make me sneeze

The pungent smell makes...

My computer has a ‘smell chequer’
Alas it doesn't seem to work
For when I make an error
I just look a complete jerk

I know that I can smell
I can do that pretty well
But when I make an error
It often is a terror

I’m wary typing duck, I know...

I light a candle for you this lonely night
Vanilla scented footsteps from the past.
The smell of your sweater a poignant delight
I wonder how long the memory will last.

Lavender scent to ease the empty pain
Potpourri of emotions in the smoky air.
In honeysuckle flames I see you...

Remember when you used to smell the sea.
The briny air would open up your nose.
But now it seems this case is not to be.
Like any other place is how it goes.
World warming or pollution I suppose.

Remember when you used to smell the rain.
The petrichor perfumed...

Just breathe in,
violet meadows,
lavender’s relaxing elixir,
passive perfume permeates
the olfactory,
ah...such sweet slumber!

It's been a little and some more

Since i seen the sea

As the tide was out upon 
my previous visitation

So i left without the smell of
salty air stimulating my sensibilities

Until i had to convince myself i

They scoop me up, I smell so good.  Others come, and stand in line. People shifting, impatiently.
They pay money, as cash registers sing happily.  Wide pleasing smiles appear when they reach for us.
One starts eating me before she returns to her seat. ...

Smell the roses

When you’re in an awful hurry and haven’t time to spare
And everything’s a worry you’re rushing here and there
While all the jobs are piling up, there’s dishes in the sink
You haven’t time to wash a cup, you haven’t time to think
Stop... and smell...

Subtle smell, linked to a knowing
Each fragrance is unique
Our awareness slowly blooming
Although we do not seek

How still is our stillness 
If not one with oneness 
Unified consciousness 

Show and tell
Subtle smell

If you hear the sound of rat-tat-a-tat
It's not a woodpecker or a chattering cat
Tis George F. Latulence an aristocrat
Playing ping pong with his gold crested bat.

A competitor and show-off he deems to be
Dresses each day in his noble finery
Pantaloons his normal fancy day wear
His ancestry,...
