Delicate Magnolias drool waiting for the next sprinkler pass
Italics moment; wafting tepals perfumes, candy, lemon, citrus-honey
Showers of nozzle heads inspire morning pleasure heightening my senses
Tapping into oily soil, saturation opens seasonal musk
Recreated showers invoke Petrichor, the smell of precipitation
Arcs of water glisten beneath sunrays; rainbows dance with vanilla blooms
Continuing to pivot, zonal-timed sprayers wash over me
Tasting sweet and tart drizzles, I lick my lips
Inhaling lemony linalool breezes, I sigh...
Oscillating, lawn-sprinkler quenches White Magnolias thirst
Niche-found aromatherapy quells my longing; delightfully distracted
