Paula Goldsmith Poet Dramatic Monologue

Up In Smoke

All my life I have heard the phase,                                                                         up in smoke.                                                                                               Boy did I find out what that meant,                                                                         the day I ate the hot peppers.                                                                              My poor mouth was on fire,                                                                                   it went up in smoke.
