Scents Sense

Today in 1912, Oreos were sold for the first time.  I did not know this until I read it on Cloaked Monk's March Challenge page.  In honor of such an auspicious and propitious event, the prompt was all about 'delicious.'

Now, for the diametrically opposed challenge (well, that's how I saw it!) - Sunday Scribblings provided the word 'raw' for the weekly writing cue.

Some Sweet Stuff

Chocolate fondue, mousse,
cheesecake, Boston cream donuts,
Oreos and fudge.

Some Stinky Stuff

Rotten eggs, wet wool,
a litter box, diaper pails,
raw sewage and feet.

  19. Found your name on Sun Scrib and knew I had to check it out. Going in order this week - trying not to read anyone else's takes on prompts until I have mine complete. So your Raw was so funny, random, and human, I loved it. Brace yourself for mine: http://sharplittlepencil.wordpress.com/2011/03/10/raw-nerve-sunday-scribblings/
