Whirls of white
Circle round like wreaths
Floating upward
On the slightest breeze
In hypnotizing deceit

Their strong enticing
Aromas
Penetrate
Deep

Elusively
Quietly
Unseen
Poisoning
Sucking
Energy
From
Their
Host

Until
The
Breath
Of
Life
Itself
Has
No
Room
To
Live

septsong,
...this is excellent..vivid and sharp in its imagery...

"On the slightest breeze
In hypnotizing deceit"...

I love that line...
great work!!
take care, janet marie

 Now for me some words come easy...
But I know that they don't mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch.
You never knew what I loved in you--
I don't know what you loved in me...
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be...
How long have I been sleeping-
How long have I been drifting alone through the night...
How long have I've dreaming I could make it right...
If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might
To be the one you need...
Jackson Browne

Does anyone know what I am talking about here? I was just wondering?

You got me there. I could think of a number of things, but every time it wouldn't fit into the "total" of the poem. Care to tell me ?

Really enjoyed this.  Not sure of "your" meaning behind it, but art is interpreted by those who admire it.    Keep up the great writing.

Winston clues?
It's so Kool
It's so Belair
It's so Capri
No matter what brand
Most end up like
The Marlboro man
Lying in a Chesterfield
