Poetry And Rhyme Are Fun
Prompts can make time fly by for me Hon
Sense Swap - Write a short piece (poem or prose) that uses only taste and smell to describe a common scene, like a bustling café or morning commute. Challenge yourself. Do not mention anything visual. Instead, use other senses to paint the world… The Power of Poetry
Yesterday, I awoke to a smell that was out of this world, or so the saying goes, where you can almost taste something just based on the scent, what beautiful prose! I was amazed by the wonder of the smell in my nose. I was aware of the wait for the taste, and the scent was in his nightclothes.
Who knew he could make so much delight during the night? Was it caramel or cinnamon rolls, cake, cookies, or other delight? Wait, there is a slight smell of chocolate, right? However, could I have missed that? And is it dark, milk, or white?
Senses
Each smell lets down my defenses
Nice chocolatey smell driving me mad
Say, it is good for me, say it isn’t bad
Every bite is pure joy and will have consequences
Saying I am off sugar, may not work. I’m a sad lad

Smell
Meet the smell of this chocolatey delight
Every whiff is more fragrant than the last
Loving the smell, who doesn’t love that right?
Like a reminder of Willy Wonka, a blast from the past
~
Taste
A powerful taste in every bite
Satisfying all with taste so light
Tantalizing and increasing my appetite
Enjoying all the chocolate in sight!
