Western Perfume
By Thelma Ireland
There are many touted perfumes,
With exotic verbiage,
But the most exciting odor
Is the smell of rain on sage.
(1954)

Hard to argue with this.
This poet is my countrywoman! Except that down here in my neck of Arizona, it is creosote rather than sage.
I’m having fun pronouncing “verbi-ayge” to rhyme with “sage.” Would love to have some rain about now — for the smell, and for other reasons.
