The smoke rose lazily
Entwining with more above
Almost sensually
To lay on the ceiling
Eyes held eyes hands held butts
Smoking was romantic
Bogie, Bronson, Marvin
held lighters and romance
All gone cigarettes kill
No one says, "Play it a-
gain, Sam" anymore. Farewell
to legends
Is there a triple dactyl? Trying my hand with a different poetry style at Imaginary Garden with Real Toads.

It's true. Watching those old movies makes one want to smoke. And own a lighter. And not a simple BIC. I am talking the kind that has a top that clicks open and shut. This was very nice! And visual!
This was a fun change-up for you. It's fun to try another style now and then, isn't it?
=)
