Backstory:
I like mint,
it ain't no lie,
and highly recommend giving Peppermint Crisp and After Eight a try!
Minty-pepper peppermint,
From perfumed parceled plants.
Aroma of field-awoken flowers and fresh linen enchants.
Therapeutic bottled spring,
Soothing sigh,
Instantaneous relief.
Freshness on my temples and on my chubby cheeks.
​
Found calming and relaxing no matter what time of year.
​
In Christmas white red candy,
Herbed meats,
Spiced chutney atmosphere.
Fresh flavor for the sauces,
Relish to wild rice,
Traditional treat and rapture,
The palate cleanser does one entice.
What soothing sight to smell such balmy warmth,
Oxygen in the lungs and refreshment for the mouth.
Dilutes acidic stomachs,
Rids foul air of smells,
Even added to deodorant,
Candles made as well.
Written is an ode to the mint leaf,
No stranger to the saints.
For even they know the calm caress it brings to body,
Soul,
And cerebral veins.
