' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' The Smell Of Purple(For Scarlett)

Rating: 2.6


She says she can
smell yellow.

She says she can
smell blue.

Despite not being able to
spell either colour.

'Yellow smells
the same as blue.'

'...like a wet kitty
drying by the fire.'

'Red smells like
Mummy when she kisses.'

'Her kisses smell different
when she kisses you...
...then she smells like flames
with little orange tips! '

'Purple
is my favourite smell...

...it smells just like
a magic spell! '

I kiss her goodnight
like violet(only lighter)

with little flecks of purple
scattered here & there.
