Lingering Scent – A Quadrille


The breeze unseasonably warm
Although I feel the change coming
There is still a hint
of night Jasmine in the air
Its pretty blooms stark white
Against the dark foliage
How I love its fragrance
Strong and rich
and decadent as the sultry night

I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose. Thanks for checking it out. Christine
