Aromatherapy

I've been having computer problems this morning ... who doesn't, these days? So-o-o ... let's go (fingers crossed, knock on wood) directly to the poem (I hope) ... and I hope you can smell the honeysuckle ... or the petunias ... or maybe even the roses:

AROMATHERAPY

The freshness

after summer rain,

honeysuckle wafting,

pie still bubbling,

smoke of a wood fire,

that new-car smell.

In a former time,

our aromatherapy.
