This is a continuation of Lj-'s wonderful idea of writing poems using the names of Yankee Candle scents. She had 30 entries in her contest: http://allpoetry.com/contest/2421855
but there were still all these wonderful scent names left over to choose from…
You may write more than one poem but each scent may only be used once so that there aren't a dozen poems all with the name of Almond Toffee, for instance.
As an extra challenge for the holidays, you are invited to try to write a "wreath" – please read about this form here: http://allpoetry.com/column/2346469
Please note that I have begun to add some of the "wreaths" that have come into this contest to the finalist list in order to highlight them as teaching examples of the form.

Thank you I was going to try to write another wreath for your contest but I can't with this new wrench you have thrown into the works of not allowing us to use the name of the scent in the poem. lol.

It needed another wrinkle!
There has been something different about the last couple of contests - I thought I would spice it up a bit, then maybe people who entered your last two would try their hand again.
