Lost Perfume – A Haiku

By Kat Myrman

swirl of fired sand
jar once filled with spice and oil
evanescence gone

~kat

For TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge, prompt words, Lost (gone) and Perfume (spice, oil), inspired by TJ’s photo of this ancient Roman vessel.

perfumed moments remembered
rapturous pain

  Yes. Scent is one of the strongest links to one’s past. 😉

      I once read a study where behaviorists tested the scent baby talc to calm the agitated emotions of violent offenders in group sessions.

      and… come on
      now you have me hooked
      do elaborate
      
      but on reflection
      talcing my kids when babies
      did calm us both

      As I recall they found it calmed their mood as well.
