Perfume Poem by Sandra Feldman

Beautiful summation of what poems really do! Beautiful triplet!

What does this poem do? It gives me faith in poems - by me or by others - because the sense of smell is the most pervasive of all the senses. Researchers have found it is the sense which is ALWAYS active. It makes me trust a poem to do the work of inspiring my and your readers - we do our part composing, now the poem will insinuate itself into people's minds in the air they breathe. The fragrance of something prepares the other senses to indulge, like smelling food cooking - so a poem will prepare people for the rest of their day, put them in a proper frame of mind.

so tis much applause BB
