Text Prompt<\/strong><\/p>\n

I lost the ability to smell years ago.<\/p>\n

I miss the smell of strawberries.<\/p>\n

like I miss my Grandma Emily.<\/p>\n

I miss the smell of freshly baked bread<\/p>\n

like I miss my childhood.<\/p>\n

I miss the smell of Roses<\/p>\n

like I miss how roses were once made for the eyes and the nose.<\/p>\n

I miss the smell of dirt after a rain<\/p>\n

like I miss growing up on a farm.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I need to take in a different breath in life.<\/p>\n

I need to relearn to breathe.<\/p>\n

I have learned with my eyes that I need to breathe only through my nose.<\/p>\n

I have noticed that my sense of smell is returning<\/p>\n

in just a little time I have started to be more mindful of how I breathe.<\/p>\n

I never thought that breathing is a sense too.<\/p>\n

I never thought that there is a right and wrong way to breathe.<\/p>\n

Is there a more correct way to see, to hear, to touch, to taste, to move, to smell, to listen, to be?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Write\u00a0a poem focusing on an experience through a sense other than vision \u2013 or a sense you don\u2019t often use or ignore.<\/span><\/p>\n
