The smell of wood stain
Drifts noticeably through the house
Like a blanket on the usual aromas

Knots flowed gracefully through
The rich, dark wood
Painting a picture on the new door

Sleek and smooth
Slipping through our fingers
As we carry it upstairs.

We walk outside, look at our house
To see a beautiful chocolate brown
Door

Hi,

So I really liked the simplicity of this poem. I think it's great when we think about every day things at a more in-depth level.

Your poem left me wondering what the other normal aromas in your house were. Why did this new smell blanket them? Could you describe them in some level of detail to make the wood stain aroma stand out even more?

Great job,

K
