A Smoking Room

A poet's reading another poet is like a smoking room at the airport: an enclosed space, happy non-smokers behind glass walls, the poet's thoughts, as strong as Cuban cigars, coming through bluish twists of the another poet's fantasy, as sweet as Virginia*, a boarding announcement, a new tobacco smelling meeting in another airport’s smoking room. * A tobacco's brand.

Other's poetry often wafts through my mind for a day or two, and intrigues me to write a poem using the new words I have learned.

I can relate Kurt. Poetry is THAT intense. I love the way your poetry is always unique and intriguing, a bit like a foreign film where you can never guess the ending. I loved this! : ) xxoo

Thank you, Andrea. Smoking is bad. A mentally healthy person does not smoke and does not write poetry)
