Subject: Ode to the humble Nose!

Whilst driving home in semi dark, I thought about my nose.
It's a useful tool, for smelling scents, and not only from a rose!
Along the road were fragrant puffs of red and floating dust,
carrying scents, which I could sort out, just.!
The scent of earth, still slightly damp,and green and growing things.
The sort of scents ,which sometimes cause my heart to sing.
I travel then,much slower,down a hill, to where
smells hang low,and seem to drift in heavy, colder air.
Here are scents of orange peel, and of a manure heap-
Above me is a feedlot, where many cattle sleep!
Then there are the sharp, clean scents of charcoal smoke and burning- now what's around the corner where this road
home has me turning?
It's a smell of gum leaves, and of nothing but the grass, I'm on the open plain now, and travelling quite fast.

Now I smell our chimney smoke, and dogs and sheep and dinner!
My nose has got me home again - I think I'm on a winner!!


Just a few thoughts as I was driving home last night! Enjoy!

Belinda, that was wonderful! You had me imagining every single thing mentioned.
