National Poetry Month Offering #3

Pheromones


You affect me pheromonally,

Visually, sensually and tonally.

My rapture is barely contained,

The reaction is purely right-brained.

Resistance is futile, you'll learn,

It's more fun to indulge than to yearn.


Ogden Nash was in my head when I wrote this, hence the short form and distinctive rhyme scheme. I was also under the influence of a man whose pheromones deeply affected me. If you haven't experienced this primitive phenomenon, you really should. It's the best drug ever.
