What is your favourite smell?
There's the smell of the sea,
The freshly mown lea.
The smell of fresh bread,
And a new laundered bed.
Summer rain is really good,
And the smell in a wood.
A cooking Sunday roast,
And thickly buttered toast.
Which is the smell that you like the most?

The morning breeze
Brings the scent
Of freshly mown grass,
And a memory
Of you.

Afternoon Snowstorm in January
David J Walker
What else would I dream about
in January
When the chill is enough to kill
All incentive
And the north wind huffs its wicked breath
In a cruel Laugh
What else would I dream about except
a certain day in a
Far away June
The 10 O’clock sun blazing its tune to
The roar of the lawnmowers
Joining the song
Shorts and a t-shirt is all we had on
And new flip flops that knew
to keep time all along
the sweet smell of fresh mown grass
and the shrilled laugh of children flying
On swings that become wings
against a summer sky
What else would I dream about when
An ice storm sets in
except the
Cherry Icee’s we bought
At Gordon Moore’s drug store
For a dime
There was Cherry and Cola
Root beer and Limon Lime
We started to notice that
Girls were different
A mystery that would never be
Solved
What else would I dream about
in the concession
to an afternoon snowstorm
in January long gone

A warm summer day
A new mown lawn
The sun shines down
A light breeze blows
I’m feeling tired
Just want to lay down
On the green grass
Sounds so good to me
I look around
Thinking of the world
All of the people
Just laying on a lawn
Wouldn’t it be good
We could all be at peace
Just lay on the grass
In a summer breeze
