Who Nose the Way?
Scientists find
a good sense of smell
goes hand-in-hand
with direction as well.
If spatial awareness
is one of your gifts,
it’s likely your nose has
superior sniff!
Discerning more scents
in the air we have crossed
may help with our sense
of NOT getting lost.
So “follow your nose”
as we like to say,
and “smell the roses”
along the way.

A lovely poem Celia. Interesting notes, however I disagree with the scientists! I have an excellent sense of spacial awareness, out at sea, yet no sense of smell. Ask anyone who sits next to me after I forget deodorant! My number plates are AD 32 BO … phewww. Navigating on land – I’m worse than Mr Magoo.
An excellent pic of a nose that knows and well-thought poem derived from the prose.
Thanks very much Andrew! I agree that there are always fabulous exceptions to any generalisation and metadata has made science a little more hasty in pointing out correlations. I have a very poor sense of direction so fit the profile quite well. Safe travels 🙂
