  • Emulation of Emily Dickinson


  • Surrounded by the Potency of Comfort

    There is a certain smell of comfort
    Sunday afternoons
    The smell penetrates
    Thoughts and feelings loom

    Serenity lies there
    While aproned ladies stir
    The smell makes an impression
    As the thoughts blur

    Ageless is the smell
    As its passed on
    Security is its lesson
    From generation to generation

    The potency is offensive to some
    To me- never
    The smell of garlic
    Brings lasting memories- forever.
