a little poem about my body parts

SENSES



A sound, like old motor oil pooling

A smell, like the barn straw in January

A sight, like the pond at 3 a.m.

A touch, like my hand deep in white flour

A taste, like pebbles from the well

And your sixth sense is still creating something in the level of a masterpiece.

OK, as long as we're not talking about those other body parts.
Vivian P. Feb 16, 2010, 11:03am UTC

You have very interesting body parts

Don't care much for the barn straw smell, but liked the poem!!!
Peter Joseph Swanson Feb 16, 2010, 11:09am UTC
barn straw doesn't have too much of a smell when it's very frozen.
ann c. Feb 16, 2010, 11:10am UTC
Hmmmm, maybe I was thinking of the "barn animal" smell.
Peter Joseph Swanson Feb 16, 2010, 11:16am UTC
in January you don't smell that unless it JUST came out, and you're right on top of it .... lol .... eeeeek !!!!
Tracy Fabre Feb 16, 2010, 11:22am UTC

So you paint your toenails, eh.
Wade A. Feb 17, 2010, 12:30am UTC
Well, if you have a purr in your pistons, you should feel for your automobile (Old Queen song)
Elsie Duggan Feb 17, 2010, 12:19pm UTC
love the way you describe your senses, never heard them called body parts before, but perhaps with out some body part working, you couldn't have all five senses, very well done Peter, unusual for you, love it
