~Senses~

Aromas of delicacies float through my senses
Euphony's are sung to weave an eccentric tune
Not barred by darkness, not barred by fences
Casting our mind in a truly delightful swoon

Mountains reach beyond the horizons and feel
Mottled clouds dancing in it's cool haunts
Ever present eye's looking on in jealous zeal
Eternal beauty of it's great shadow it flaunts.

Weeping leaves sway to the song of the breeze
Like the rosy petals weep often after the rain
Swift arrow blows, stings and ceases to please
The real birth of cerebration shall reign again

A fleeting mirage in the deserts of out soul
A small oasis breathes in greenery of our mind
What is our food without mere salt to extol?
Awake your senses for even the able is blind...

    It seems that you have the greatest ease with writing in rhyme. A perfect ABAB scheme and again that steady flow within.

    Reading your poetry makes me feel there's a lot more English vocabulary to learn than I originally expected lol.
    Great use of words! and thank you for sharing this with us

    Yes, full of metaphors. I really liked this one. The wording especially. I have a thing for the word Aroma and I loved the use of euphony, etc. Well done and good luck in the challenge.

    I am affected by the end of the poems as well as many others, so I feel the endings should be strong making the reader feel a particular sense or emotion Thanks for the comment and applaud
