They seldom move
on their own
but run all the time.
You will find them everywhere
they dont belong.
Noses confuse sense with scent,
thinking they are the same.
I just dont know but I sometimes think
the nose controls the brain.
We do so many foolish things
losing all we gain,
and leaving a scent
of our passing smell.
A nose
blind to its
own.

Well you certainly got the admission price out of me! Capturing my attention right from the start... The thing about 'how' you wrote this, is you can go several ways with the mean, other than the obvious direct to the point. But, then I work with a bunch of farters in 'more' ways then one.
Thank you so much for entering the contest, the pleasure was all mine! ~
Best of luck to you...

LOL. people's comments are as good as the poetry. Like they say; "Noses are on every face and some of them smell." If we could learn to just butt out life would be more enjoyable. Thank you for the entry

Interesting. I don't understand the use of punctuation without capitalization... Interesting concept. Three bunnies.

poking fun at this body part is just a bridge too far.....
but talk about being hooked, this just blows you away.. funny my man, very funny.

I'll never scratch my nose the same way again...oh yes i will
good poem -
Superb!

This is a very clever write
I like the way it flows (or is that runs 
) Well done 
-
I really like this poem. Especially the part about finding them where they dont belong. I like the way you took a simple part of the human body and used it to point out some of humanities greatest faults.

nose knows
and then they sometimes point up into the air
and leaves the woes of others as if one didn't care
yes the nose, this is refreshing and so full of wit and wisdom, very nicely done ...PK

noses run...and feet smell!
Lovely piece of writing. You have a firm control of the written word... and the humour and wit to go along with it!
-
I really like this. It's funny, but poignant. It's all true. Smell is one of the strongest senses to trigger memory. It is very powerful, and so is your poem!
