Aroma of Art

by Scott Owens

Heady scent of coffee beans

and paint, curve of potter’s wheel,

smooth finish, stained glass,

filigreed jewelry, playful stones,

lacework of fuzzy scarves,

blab of poems, sensual photos

of lily, rose, and orchid,

perfect harmony of “Guinivere,”

murmur of lovers whispering

soft seduction, art,

music, people coming together

in an ekphrastic moment of poetry.

Painting by JW Baker, titled "Grey Days", donation to the Aroma of Art auction.
