Best Cigarettes Poems

Where are my old white corsets
  Right next to your candy cigarettes

Hey! We didn't get today's edition of 'Grit'
  It's canceled. They use bad words now like 'Guck' and 'Spit'

Oh, and I can't seem to find my orange Pez dispenser
  I threw...

Two cigarettes and a beer, dear
That's how long I'll be here
If you never show
Then I'm gonna go
After two cigarettes and a beer.

You know I'm not big on forgivin’
And not much for talkin’ things through
But if you’ll swing on by
I'll give it a try
Though I don't...

DEATH WISH HAIKU (AS Musical History of Cigarettes)
L.S.M.F.T.
Snooky Lanson sang it clear
smoke in every ear.

From your Hit Parade,
Frank Sinatra blew the words one time
Didn't Fence Him In.

Dorothy Collin's voice

Lucky Strike's the one.

Drifting up her nose
pulling smoke into her lung

Part I.

Harvest time was winding down, 
I was taking lunch in town, 
After spending six long hours plowing stubble.
Washing up I met a man, 
Guessed he was a harvest hand, 
His combine crew, he said, was fixin’ to move out.
He was wearing dungarees, 
We exchanged...

The first time i picked up a cigarette I told you and you fought me 
because you said they were wrong,
After that i steered clear of them afraid of what would happen if i touched 
them again, afraid of what rage you would put over...

I was addicted to the taste of cigarette smoke and lies,
and the way your eyes matched the pattern of the stars at midnight.
But I was to drugged by your words to remember that poisonous beasts have the most colorful eyes.

Like a cigarette to me
Addictive and consuming
But cancerous 
In every way
Yet I'd still go down
In your flame...

This Martian was as mean as it gets
He ran out of Martian cigarettes. 
He landed his spaceship on earth,
At a highway rest stop near Perth,
and found plenty by trailing the pets.

Cigarettes and Loose Change 
         by Edmund Siejka


On a late afternoon
There was a stillness 
When nothing seemed to move.

Listless and sort of down
I knew a bar
Squeezed in between non- descript buildings.

Hesitating I stood outside
Searching the gray lifeless...

Had a dream last night, you could say it was wet
Fell headlong in a pool while playing the clarinet
Kept playing underwater
Received much applausers
Got out, and in my pocket was some soggy cigarettes

Hennessy
when I digest
and Heavy Metal
when I listen
and Fake Eyelashes
when I am seen
and Cigarettes
when I am not seen...
