The Sweet smell of Success
What does it smell like
Hmmmmm
what can I liken to the Sweet smell of success
After all of the mess
You can now
Laugh at their plot
Because now
They have to watch
you now
All for a season of corruption
Let them throw the stumbling blocks
Let them sit in the seat of the scornful
Let them eat the fruit of their dark labor
You can smile at their disruptions
Read the rest of the poem Show less
You can sit back and savor
while in darkness
they toil and labor
in vain
Like the sweet smell of chocolate wafting in the loop
Like the sweet smell of roses in bloom on a walk with your lover in the afternoon
Like the sweet smell of rain gently falling in June
the Sweet smell of success

"In the lines 4-11, to allude to some kind of event. It would be useful to the reader if there was something to grab on to in those lines. Like the ending!" -

"Left brained is logical and egotistical. We want what we want when we want it and how we want it. As for right brained we just love whether we get our way with another or not. And the best way to live is love self first…" -
