Though you talk from the POV of your 'sniffer' you also use other senses in your Octelle poem JLR with the
hearing that which smelled fishy.
Amusing cliche descriptions to go with your words. Well done,
cheers

As I just wrote my first ever Octelle, I am now going through reading the more skillful examples from this weeks club entry. This is a great one, written in a chatty fashion.

The jury's out on this Octelle form as I have seen it written in so many different ways with different metres and I couldn't detect any metre in your version, but I loved the sentiment here as we rely on our senses to smell a rat and emotional feelings give us a sense of reality and we rely on our gut instinct to make decisions, an unusual and quirky poem, love Dolly x

Your poem is descriptive, clever, and entertaining. "Sniffer" is a good metaphor for the nose, possessor of that very important sense of smell.
Good rhyming

You did a great job with your octelle for the club. I enjoyed reading your response. Your words are well thought out and create great imagery. You handled the style ell. Your repeated refrain fits in smoothly.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

The Octella is a new poetic form to me. From your notes, I think you did a wonderful job with it.
A fun and informative read.

Well done

Hi these cliche have been here for donkey years and used too. They come handy all the time.
But still although I love the white, I cannot contain myself into the mould of this. I need freedom. Please forgive. I mean no hurt.

This octelle, Trusting Your Senses, has the proper formatting and gives a bit of a send up for the senses and how they can keep us from erring. Neat.
