It Takes Me Away

by Holly Miller aged 7

WINNING POEM

I love my mum
I love her lots
But what’s special
is her smell.

Her smell
takes me away
and If I could
I would take
her scarf
with me,
I would.

I would
put my face
in her scarf
and smell
her special smell
It takes me away.

Sometimes I smell
her when she kisses
me goodbye and
it takes me away.

    I expect we can all remember the smell of our mum, so comforting. A lovely poem, Holly!

    We all remember smells that we associate with certain people, but what is so nice about this is the love that you feel. Made me cry.
