Have you ever noticed the air of spring, A fragrance that's so devine? When falling rain gently covers, The honeysuckle vines. The scent of a lady, freshly bathed, With powders, perfumes and such, All of our senses reach out in envy The sweet smells we adore so much. Now and then we experience an odor, That catches us right off guard, You're not quite sure where it came from, But you'd guess a local barn yard. It enters your nose in the usual way, And you recognize it as old LongJohn, The cologne he wears is "Catch of the Day" From the city's sewage pond. |

Oh, this is vintage you, mixed in with the nouveau you! I'm sighing and laughing--laughing and sighing... P.S. I must leave now to slip into my lilac-scented bubble bath. Linda |

And then another scent so raw Abuses all your senses It's just that Bugman Balladeer - The nose has no defenses! I love this, Toerag... from the gentle beginning of beauty straight through the arrow in the sailor's dignity. LOL Great work! *S* [This message has been edited by suthern (10-16-2002 11:52 AM).] |

Although I'm new to Passions in Poetry...I have discovered that Toerag, Balladeer,LongJhnAg and sometimes Suthern enjoy the "run and gun" approach to poetry..it brings such humour to this site...Toerag, you break me up!! |

Toe, this is so delicious. I never know quite what to expect when I open and read one of your poems. You always keep us guessing. This I just loved ~~ LOL!!! ... Hugs, Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. [This message has been edited by NewEnglandlazurlu (10-29-2002 01:56 PM).] |

Hooters must close every Tuesday To get John out of their way So that they can disperse his "perfume." Oversized gas masks enable Them to scrub down "his" table But a strange smell remains in the room. |

Toe darling man this is wonderful, just what I needed today, the touch of sunlight on my face is enough to ease the heaviness of my heart, do I love this you know I do YOU are a very very special writer. A true mix of sunlight and laughter I love it utterly utterly, beautifully written   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |
