to use the three words of the week in a composition.
The words this week are:

Camay was a brand of soap.
Granny
The scent of Camay—
Transports me back through time.
Grandmother's bedroom.
◊
The smell of pasties.
She flaked the vegetables.
Serve crispy, with sauce.
◊
A young tearaway?
A youth of wild reveling?
I can but wonder.

The scent of pasties revel in my mind as I read these haiku
ReplyDeleteThat was a delightful read. Greetings!
ReplyDeletenostalgia for the nose - lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt's good to be transported back to those memories
ReplyDeleteOh, I remember that Camay smell too! Funny how scents can transport a person through time. And...lucky is a person who has had HOMEMADE pasties--makes my taste buds yearn!
ReplyDeleteWe always remember with fondness the people who loved us. Nice ~!
ReplyDeleteNice snippets like locks of hair or diary entries left.
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten Camay....a scent from my past.
ReplyDeleteSomewhere, in the attic of my brain, I remember Camay ... and I would surely revel in having some pasties today! Good write.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing more efficient scents to evoke a memory....
ReplyDeleteI like how you associate scent with memory here.. Beautifully penned.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, your Camay and home-made pasties have taken me straight back to my own childhood. What pleasurable scents! (They don't make soaps or pasties like that any more. Nor wild revels either, lol.)
ReplyDeleteCool!

We should never think that other (older) people lived lives different from our own, they had their adventures and indiosyncrasies too. Doing family history you often find this out!
ReplyDeleteYou've made me hungry... a nostalgic for my grandmother's kitchen.
