Challenge
The greatest words don't just create the greatest poetry... They can also inspire the greatest poetry!
Choose one of the following words and create a poem with it, around it, about it… Whatever you choose... Somnambulist: a sleepwalker; Petrichor: the pleasant smell that follows rain; Halcyon: denoting a period of time in the past that was idyllically happy and peaceful; Vespertine: relating to, occurring, or active in the evening; Offing: the more distant part of the sea in view....Have fun! (P.S. If you feel inspired by more than one word, feel free to enter as many poems as you'd like.)
Scent of Rain
I breathe her scent
deep earthy smell
of sprinkling rain
ozone of her essence
the scent of
freshly washed laundry
exotic fibers of lust
erotic murmur of nature
a silent opaque mist
steaming on naked skin
scent of blue condensation
liquid sunshine of her soul
aphrodisiac aroma
of gentle rain
ozone of the gods
showers stirring
my aroused senses
dancing with me
in simplicity of time
wafting perfume
of last night’s ardor
incense of her soul.
