What IS This Smell?!

PAD Challenge day 28: Write a smell poem

It’s the smell of yellow

In willow-strummed hymns

Of daffodil-cello

And forsythia-strings

Of noon’s blue-tuned oboe

Where zephyr-song trills

Of soft violet vesper

On twilight-ed hills

…of song-sparrow canticles

Sunshiny street

Of children a-giggle

In freedom’s bare feet

Of grass-slopes, green-velvet

Of hope, rain-drop pearled

It’s the smell of spring, darling

Come to winter’s world
