Lavender

Wayne Blair 1951 (London)

Rhymed
My Mom’s favourite scent

Market Garden near Sparta

Coloured feminine things

delicate hues each spring.

Huge fields blessed in France

Invitation romance.

So soothing and pure.

Let lavenders endure.

    Wow! I absolutely love this poem! The imagery you have used is so vivid and enchanting. I can almost smell the lavender fields and feel the romance in the air. Your words are so delicate and beautiful, and I can see why this would be your mom's favorite scent. Your use of rhyme and flow is truly remarkable, and it makes the poem so easy to read and enjoy.

    If I could make one suggestion, it would be to expand on the theme of the poem. Perhaps you could tie in some personal stories or memories that relate to the lavender scent and what it means to your mom. This would help to make the poem even more meaningful and impactful.

    Overall, your poem is fantastic, and I look forward to reading more of your work in the future. Keep up the amazing work!
