we write poems #22 what's for dinner

Coco
Take your lover in your arms
Change the colours
to black and white
Chanel No. 5
Grasse
Eyedropper of oil
with
flowers, rose du mai, jasmine,
and a synthetic musk
'a concrete' to 'an absolute'
Blend to create a scent for the world
A memory is stirred by the trace of a bouquet
Chanel No. 5
A millinery girl with flair

    Pamela, your recipe is indeed 'scent-ual' as well as delightful.

    Diane, nice comment!

    I like how you used a perfume to tell a story, Pamela.

    What fun to read of the scents of the world and what makes the milinery girl with a flair who she is. Beautiful.

    Thanks Tilly!
    I had some trouble getting this one done. I just recently saw the movie about Coco and Igor and decided I would write about perfume.

    Oh, this is really smelly (in a good way). Salute.

    Side note: On first read, I saw "military girl." Wow. Double take.
