Oh, I Love the Smell of...
by Sarah Amick
Breathe in the smell of rain
as the wind carries it in:
"smells like rain..."
Breathe in the nostalgic smells of a kitchen baking;
a grandmother humming, afterschool cookies,
and cakes for celebrations;
Breathe in a child
before the eyes of dawn appear
all snuggled under the covers of a restful night;
Imprint them in your memory.
Breathe in the awareness of the one you love
left on the garments as you gather them for the wash,
Take a moment and
breathe in...

You are an amazing poet. I can't believe how it just flows out of you! Can you send me Mr. Megles' blog address? I may see Ruth tomorrow. Can't wait to talk to her about all of you! Did you read what she said about your site...awesome!
jim-megablog.blogspot.com is Jim's. You can access it through Jen's if you have trouble. Also, if you check my comments he has written to me and you can link to him that way. I love what Ruth has said about me. Have you seen Kirsten's? Lots of cool stuff about Kathy Douglas, our mentor and friend. KirstensKorner-Kirsten.blogspot.com
Sarah- You are too cool!
Don't you love smell? I think it's one of our senses we don't use enough. You mentioned in your peom about the smell of a child all snuggled. This may sound ridiculous but I can relate through Daisy. She has the sweetest smell when she wakes up. It's a smell of calmness. It makes me comfortable!
WOW - Have you ever considered publishing your poetry...you are amazing. As a person and a poet!
