Being a Widnesian I had to go to other authorities for inspiration on smells. Taken with Cyrus Larcombe-Moores poem "My Ghost" Cyrus was the winner of the Foyle Young poet of the year 2016.
My Ghost. I spent two years banishing a ghost from my head So now it sits in my back garden And sometimes it stands by the kitchen window Watching us scramble breakfast eggs and burn toast. And every now and then, whenever I'm not alone, it stands at the end of my bed. And it will sleep in my cupboards among the baggy t-shirts and jumpers. And wherever it goes I smell chestnuts, honey, cinnamon, raisins. It still gives me butterflies, and the small clings to everything, I just wish I could eat alone sometimes.
