The Aroma of Knowledge

Convolutions of fragrant petals,
Obscuring miasma that settles
Bestowed within a corsage of morality
Juxtaposed with honor and vitality

Knowledge is a potpourri of blooms
Propinquity of mismatched perfumes
An affinity that reiterates validity
And reaffirms the aroma of stability

Integrity is the essence of cognition
The scented buds of kinship and ambition
A bouquet of integrated learning
Giving rise to wisdom and discerning

Author notes

I used prompt #1. If knowledge had an aroma, what would it smell like? and the following 9 words from the word bank, including the bonus word:_ 1. propinquity 2. affinity 3.kinship 5. corsage, 6. miasma, 8. reiterate 9. honor 10. integrity
BONUS WORD: Juxtaposition

Sure hope that this makes the grade!! lol

    Obscuring miasma that settles

    Juxtaposed with honor and vitality

    very well done and the rhymes are awesome. even if the words used had not been given to you, this would still have been a fresh breath of knowledge. my best to you in the contest.

    This is quite a sophisticated piece of work you have here ......
    Knowledge can bring peace, understanding and insight....
    I think the very comment from the well intentioned gentleman below almost misses a big point of the message of this piece.....
    any words used by the poet
    that are not understood
    will be attained and learned
    by anyone reading,
    and in turn,
    furthering...
    the aroma of knowledge.

    Excellent work here,
    Liam

    I am very well spoken in the modern trend with words and their meaning so it is to you, I appaud the extra vocab to an awesome set of words given. Marvelously constructed verse to which the aroma has been surely smelt. I hope the use of such wording does not blight your chances of a trophy. Best of Luck, take care. Titus
