Rank or fragrant
rotten or sweet
the bitterness or pungency
the sharpness of the odor
in words of smell triggering
a deep memory

In Words of Texture
In words conveying the image
the way something feels
in words of texture
helping to make it real
Sharing in the senses
what this moment was like
in this may I bring to each reader
what I am trying to communicate
maybe even what I think

In Words of the Senses
In their color
in their texture
in the grace of their motions
sharing what I am feeling
in the words of the senses
trying to draw the reader
to bring them to this place
that they would experience what I am seeing
what caused me to pause and write
to bring them with me ever
into this time and place

In Words of Memory
Trying to capture the moments
the sensory overloads
Real and alive
dripping with emotion
So much of what I am trying to convey
in the words of the senses
words rich with memory
to draw the reader in

In Words of Color
The changing of the leaves
the season of autumn
oranges and reds
and pure simple yellows
But words of color
more varied than these
to explain, to visualize
what we actually see
A yellow finch of the weeping willow
the cranberry of this maple
maybe the brown paper bag
tanned hides of the oak
or the pumpkin of another
We are blessed with a vibrant palette
below the azure sky
needs a crayon box of words
a cornucopia of colors
to get it just right

Falling on the Mums
The rain falling heavy
on the autumnal tableau
the vivid colors of autumn
on the mums below
Watering the fall garden
the blooms tightly packed
no need for human efforts
God providing the rain
Washing our world a little cleaner
washing away the dust
the colors likely more vibrant
when the sun comes back out
