The Smoke

Was it? Alone in an old restaurant on the harbor at closing time. Where?


Poem Artwork

From out of thin air
Swirl of smoke slithering
Brushed past my hair
Closing time door is locked
No one else anywhere
Whence came the smoke

Imagination
Shadow saw me as well
Puff she was gone
Swirl of smoke slithering
Could it? Ridiculous!
Whence came the smoke

Another great and scary poem. I wonder where it came from and if it will return!

Mayhaps you were high when this smoke came & you know where it went, into you, to reappear through your nose...:) -e-

Reads like a dream experience. Many of those come and go without letting us know, "from hence they come." That would make a great opening to a TV show in a deep baritone voice with much authority. Hair would stand up on the viewers' necks as a chill would remind them to try to be ready for what was coming. Coming. Coming. (Fade to black)

Where there's smoke,
there's also a spark.
It was the invisible man
with his cigar,
blowing smoke rings in the dark.

The always illusive smoke is penned here as symbol of one of air's many disguises, but always, if we think about it, that which we can't live without... unless, of course, that's cigar or cigarette residue. That... wherever it comes from, is dispensable.

Oh, what mystery! It is beautifully described in your lovely poem, just like the haunting scent of perfume, or the scent of a bouquet of flowers. Thank you for sharing...

An interesting symbolic question, such is smoke that it raises questions like these. Your poem is quietly intuitive, knowing something and asking the reader to know. Very mysterious, Jane.
