Flair Poem by Douglas Scotney

Flair



From the Old English for 'being helpful',
a 'frame',

what assists what's inside,

is a relatively flat shape
with a hole that's been filled
with an odour that elicits applause,
excuse and oh hell,

by what is known as an artist,

but what I like to call a 'flair',
from the Latin 'fragrare',
'to emit a smell'.
