A Slow Smoke Comments

Is this cigarette in her memories and merely in her mind from the powerful evocation of the song?

'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes' is a vaguely Noir song to be mentioned, Strangely I have a memory about being at a bar and somebody playing this song for a romantic feeling. It was so long ago I really forget if I in anyway fell captive to any true evocation of feeling like this.

oh, i get it. smoke....cigarette. THIS ONE is not too complicated for me, though i do wonder if there is a Felis catus among us, or if the 'feline' is only Sally! i think i too would close MY eyes if a burning stick were hanging out of my mouth! i liked fingers and lingering so near one another. :) bri

Reminiscent of a Casablanca backdrop...I love your write and can almost hear the music quarrying last my own slightly cracked open window....PEACE

Talking about smoke gets in your eyes Sally check out my poem Woodbine Willie see what you think. Remember Woodbines?

That last one was from my wife. Prompting a feline to stalk the shadows. WTF? I bow down. Beautiful poem, I must read more.

Oh Yes Sally Plumb Plumb I /we call it Crater Lake Oregon. We call it the giver of wine.

Nice piece Sally. The style reminds me a little of a poem by D.H. Lawrence called 'Piano' - have you read it?

A great evocative piece with beautiful atmospheric tones to paint for the senses a memory of tranquility. A fine eloquent work.

Really love this, a fantastic poem.

Could feel the atmosphere of the write, draws you in as you read! Great work! ; D
