In Competition No. 3189 you were invited to submit a poem about a favourite smell.

This challenge certainly seemed to strike a chord — not surprising, perhaps, given the looming threat of Covid-induced anosmia. As Brian Murdoch puts it:

In case some virus makes you so unwell
That you can never smell a thing again…
