I think I can smell or remember that particular night air.

Sparkling in your poem:
-Description and appeal to the senses. Perfume and rose all a lovely touch to your poem.

A lovely poem. If exuberance could be reflected or bottled in a scent, it would be your poem of roses.

I like how you start and end your rictameter poem with "perfume." You build up the heady perfume's impact on the summer night's tryst and we can imagine the rest. Best wishes in the contest!

Wondered if you meant the possessive form here:
of roses scent (rose's)

Ciao Sugarray!

Love the nostalgic vibe your poem radiates. (I also was listening to Roberta Flack singing "The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face" softly in the background. (wink)

I love the scent of roses , it's intoxicating and a rose garden on a Summer evening is the perfect, setting for romance.

I will keep an eye out when this contest hits the booth ,

Enjoy!

Hello Mystery Writer!
Smell/scent is one of - if not the most powerful - emotion one can experience when remembering a specific moment in one's life.
For you it is roses.
For me it is eucalyptus.
To encapsulate your emotions in a Rictameter is no easy feat.
Your offering is beautiful and moving.
Wishing I had six stars...
Powerful imagery...

Thank you for sharing!
Best Wishes!

This is a beautifully worded entry to this contest. The font size is great for reading. The message is great. However, the presentation could be some better if you made the background black and the writing pink. it would make your great visual more prominent and the text too. Try it, and if you don't like it, you can always change it back. Good luck in the contest.

I can imagine being in a rose garden and smelling the great scents. Roses are beautiful. All colors. I love the red the best. I like smelling them. I wish they could last longer than they do. Thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend.
