What's comfort?

simple pleasures


simple pleasures
remind me of scents
favorite and comforting
fragrance of lavendar
sprayed on my pillow
a dryer sheet
fresh out of a dryer
smell of fresh-baked bread
driving by a bread company
the tang of a freshly ripped
apart tangerine
the aroma of hot chocolate
on a cool winter's evening
while curled up around a book

I met with my writing group this past weekend and this is one of the poems I wrote based on the writing prompt of "simple pleasures."  It's interesting listening to the different writings of the writers in my group.  Each has his/her own literary style.
