Incense and Poetry : Haiku of the Day
The smoke
Is now making
The first sky of the year.
Issa (1763 – 1828), a Japanese poet, whose name means simply “a cup of tea”
You can write about anything you wish in this thread, including your favorite poetry. For those who would like to use the Scent Diary to sharpen their sense of smell, I will give a short explanation. As I wrote in How to Improve Your Sense of Smell, the best way to do so is to smell and to pay attention to what you’re smelling. It doesn’t matter what you smell. The most important thing is to notice scents around you. It’s even better if you write it down. So please share your scents and perfumes with us.
