       I like to smell things
   Like the smell of puppy breath
        It is a sweet smell
    The smell of Mommy's pillow
They smell the same way love smells

Glad you posted this. It brings me down to simpler thought, and perhaps, giving a more accurate description of love than I have as an adult! Well... maybe not, but it is refreshing! Thanks again.

Love smells like Mommy's pillow...

Yes, it does!

Out of the mouths of babes cometh forth truth.

Very precious and precocious! This is what a professor once defined as a "found" poem! I love it, too!

I can certainly sense a child's perspective here.

Good job.
