First time Wet and cold hiking Scouts huddled under a bridge The harsh smoke chokes me Cruisin' Rolled up in my sleeve A pack of unfiltered Camels Symbol of defiance Parking lot Crouched between the cars Hidding from the teacher's eyes Grabbing a quick smoke Sex In the after glow Pulling in the smokes delight Two lights in the dark Nam Different smoke here Tightly rolled and twisted ends Short trips from the war Quitting Last pack in the trash Withdrawal provokes hunger Damn!I almost quit My pipe More than just a smoke Distraction from the boredom Deadly pacifier paladin |

Paladin darling boy this is sooooooooo incredibly wonderful. I am never disappointed by the artistry and wonder you craft into your poems and this is amazing, the flow is just perfect. Perfect poetry, and wonderful title Truly sensational writing, you never disappoint me, fabulous  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy   To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

Hey, paladin, good topic this, and well done. So, can I borrow one? Actually I don't want to borrow one, I'm going to steal your idea and go scribble on another blue page! A parallel tale, so to speak. Thanks! Kraw' "As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it." Wendell Berry |

I like to think of my short themes are seeds for longer poems.I look forward to see what grows from the seed you plant. paladin |

Whenever someone mentions Camels I am reminded of my Father dying at a very young age in part due to his habit of chain smoking camels...fortunately I did not pick up his habit although I have smoked for brief periods at various times in my life...James |
