Pungent Perfume

fields along the road

wafting out pungent perfume

odors not farm-fresh

This Haiga was inspired by a prompt from Carpe Diem Haiku.

Lately, when driving to the city, some of the fields smell really, really bad. Feedlots always smell bad, but these are fields, not feedlots.

I can't help thinking that anything smelling this bad can't be good for the environment or the animals and/or people eventually consuming food grown in these fields. This isn't the odor of plain old manure. It's a cross between toxic waste and an open sewer.
