Scent
Peonies' lovely smells
waft romantic spells
The rose
With shameful flagrance
in all directions
pours her fragrance.
With the gardenia
bloom
comes her consort
her perfume.
Lilies of the valley
gift to all
their heavensent
sweet scents.

Footnote:
Nature's perfumes
have no animal ingredients
others have put into manufactured
ones.. ambergris from sperm whale,
civet from Abyssinian cats,
musk from castrated musk oxen
castor from Canadian beaver.
