No problem, bro. It’s done. 🙂
I took palm wine once about 20 odd years ago, still remembers the taste! Have a great week sis! 😀
Sandra, I love the taste of palm wine though I hardly drink it these days. 🙂
Ummm…the scent of the refreshing African palm wine. Very well done, Celestine. 🙂
And welcome aboard, Adjei Agyei-Baah,!! That’s a terrific haiku too…!!
Panchali, thanks. 🙂
two very lovely haiku 🙂
Thank you Ladylee.
Sent is powerful. Have you ever seen the movie:

Each person remembers their best memories when the angel is around. 😉
I was weeding yesterday… and brought in…well an unwanted sent.
I have to clean off my shoes now. 🙂
Oh no! I hate these scents that just follow one indoors. My boys bring such scents in every now and then from the football park or from just playing around the neighborhood. 🙂
Bake cookies 😉
I know some folks who burn scented candles or have electric potpourri pot.
And then there is that company who has those ‘plug-in’ things. And the different spray products. But I think the boys will just have to learn to do their own laundry…so you don’t have to 🙂
Having had boys… myself. I know that ode d’adolescence.
Boys boys boys! Thank God they do their own laundry every Saturday but oh, I have to do a lot of talking before they get to it. 🙂
Very evocative, I haven’t smelled palm wine for years!
Thank you Gilly. It can be quite intoxicating if you follow the sweetness. 🙂
Both are lovely. I’ve never heard of palm wine. But this makes me want to try some.
LOL! 🙂
Palm-wine is tapped from the sap of the palm tree at certain temperatures. The juice or liquid or whatever is left to ferment for days and then it’s ready for consumption. Depending on the age or stamina of the palm, and of course the expertise of the tapper, the wine can either be sweet or sour.
It’s very much loved by the local folks here and used as the wine of choice at various traditional ceremonies. Quite intoxicating if you allow the sweetness to rule your senses. 🙂
Palm wine sounds lovely. Someday I shall try it. 🙂
priceless!
Trisha, thanks.
Greta haiku Celestine and Welcome to Adjei Agyei-Baah ..What wonderful compositions dearies 🙂
Kokila, thanks. Adjei Baah is simply amazing 🙂
The scents of palm wine and mushrooms—what more could you ask for?
Rocky Road/Fresh Winds
Nothing else my dear. 🙂
The lingering scent of palm wine reminds me of the village scenes in Nollywood films.
Laughing so hard here, Stella. 🙂 How right you are. I can see the village elders now, gulping down volumes amidst raucous laughter! 😉
I love those scents that conjure up special days and memories, from now on I shall sample wine with every memory.
Please do so. The best memories are those conjured wining and dinning! 🙂
Awesome Haiku..Loved it.
Thank you ma’am.
Palm wine sounds interesting.
It is, Kimmy. Quite intoxicating too. 🙂
lovely composition Celestine… Welcome AAB 🙂
Thank you, Kalpana.
I could almost smell that palm wine and mushrooms.
I’m glad. Quite an intoxicating combination though 🙂
Yes I did wonder what they would
Smell like together 🙂
