summer solstice summer winds – hot air
Tackle It Tuesday
Cheverfuiell’s haiku blog
The final prompt for the month of May is for me the most difficult. It is “smell or taste.” Some few years ago I stated that I would rather loose my left arm than loose my sense of smell. I was looking forward to a third career/hobby in natural perfumery. Smell is to me the most important sense. Ones sense of smell is tied to emotional memory among other things. I lost my sense of smell for the first time in 2010. Today greatly diminished my sense of smell is all too often non-existent, as a result of illness. I have become very angry about this. I realize that this is not a logical response … it non-the less is currently mine. Seasonal kigo mid-summer rain.

serene and scenic the river is peaceful
i dangle my toes into the water’s coolness
i know that today is for thinking of peace
i wonder
will there ever be peace in sudan
disipating energies
winding roads steep inclines
rest under elm shade
