Smelling...

Nature has nighttime incontinence...

Poem Artwork

The rain,
Nature does have night incontinence,
On the earth it leaves a wet stain,
This is not to man nor beast a pain…

A fire,
Wood burning,
Makes me yearning,
To have a fire ring & go camping,
Through the Barrens I’d go tramping…

The salt marsh,
To some low tide can be quite harsh,
To me it’s the smell of home,
It does of me awaken,
A memory of childhood unshaken…

Sweet reminders of our past, Ed; they come with smells, sounds, taste, and sometimes of course, touch. Nicely done. Love and peace to you,

I'm grateful for the nighttime incontinence to fertilize and water is good old Garden of Eden that we live in. Sometimes, it's the smelliest stuff that is the most productive… Like your poem.

Dear KKK ...

U reminded me of something my Dear Old Ma used to say about the local busybody ... "She's afraid you'll Fart n' she won't Smell it !"

Farts n' salt marshes have something in common ...
both Stink ... are malodorous ...

Only a Joisey Barrens Devil would Enjoy smellin 'em Both !

Someday when yew reach Hades, ewe'll just Love the ...
Stench of Sulphur !!!

I'll just bet u walk around the alleys of Sea Isle City ...
Sniffin' the Dumpsters fer Rotten Crab Shells !

HO HO HO ... YEW HO !!!

Yer Dearest Cuz ... Sir Cur ... aka Tom Terrific !

This is excellent poetry, Ed. It even had me yearning for camping and the good remembrances of home . . .
