"Of Sights and Scents"

"Of Sights and Scents" A Poem by David Hart
A distinguished pair of spectacles, selfless and serene, doze snuggly atop a
Proud bureau of drawers.

A placid fireplace yawn and winks
As giggling embers tango on tiptoes with
Lilliputian logs,
haughtily cackling a cacaphonous tune.

Outside a stoic mist galumphs betwixt gregarious
shrubs and egotistical stars

Dewy eyed and squinting, windows, aching and arched, peep out--
Out to the blaring beams from a crochety moon afar

A pensive pair of spectacles ruminates on sights
Carefully seen--
Of frugal birds and courteous walkways
And terraces splendid and keen

Now a scent of myrrh caresses the room
A pillow of mist blushing, blows kisses to
A muzzy moon
