The greatest words don't just create the greatest poetry... They can also inspire the greatest poetry! Choose one of the following words and create a poem with it, around it, about it… Whatever you choose... Somnambulist: a sleepwalker; Petrichor: the pleasant smell that follows rain; Halcyon: denoting a period of time in the past that was idyllically happy and peaceful; Vespertine: relating to, occurring, or active in the evening; Offing: the more distant part of the sea in view....Have fun! (P.S. If you feel inspired by more than one word, feel free to enter as many poems as you'd like.)

Scent of Rain

I breathe her scent

deep earthy smell

of sprinkling rain

ozone of her essence

the scent of

freshly washed laundry

exotic fibers of lust

erotic murmur of nature

a silent opaque mist

steaming on naked skin

scent of blue condensation

liquid sunshine of her soul

aphrodisiac aroma

of gentle rain

ozone of the gods

showers stirring

my aroused senses

dancing with me

in simplicity of time

wafting perfume

of last night’s ardor

incense of her soul.
