Best Trail Of Smoke Poems

The smoke is a question mark...
My view of you is covered in gray
You pause, look back, then walk away
You’ve neglected to open your umbrella…

Tomorrow, under a different sky
I will listen to the songs of yesterday
The world leaves behind a sign language for broken hearts
It is...

A familiar aroma wafted towards me,
As I looked up into blue azure skies,
And far beyond, a golden horizon.
I could barely see the shapes of an old
Man holding a young child’s hand,
The man wore a long white robe
And was smoking a handcrafted
Pipe, and the spiraling smoke...

Let's start this issue with hard facts 
believe it or not the seed is now planted 
from our Lord's spoken words lets address this world openly honest

It only fills us with the wind and the emptiness of pride

Now lets count the cost of innocent lives...

A thin trail of smoke rises from his discarded pipe. A stark shadow falls from his hat brim, as he leans into the beam of light. He clasps his hands together and rests them on the desk top. From behind him you hear the creak...

THE SMOKESTACKS OF AUSCHWITZ
A trail of smoke fades to an autumn dawn,
as sounds of morning break unearthly still,
arising to the day, some life goes on,
while others have the fear it never will.

Some ashes drift about the morning air,
appearing as do snowflakes in a stall,
to restless...

Brick stepped up on the curb, shaking his head,
" What a piece of junk" he should'a rode the horse"
Brick turned to see the trail of smoke being left
behind by Bill's car as he drove away from the curb
he wondered if Bill would even make it...

He said it out loud, as if for them to hear
I think I'm done here
Departure time has drawn near
He said it again, like a song

He said he would fold his clothes
Place them in a grocery bag
Which he did, and lit a pipe. He had a...

If you stroll a wild colored garden
Down thin and dappled paths;
Where bluebonnets bloom on Spring’s black floor,
And mockingbirds above are happily singing, see

New limber-legged colts and calves dancing in the sun,
And chartreuse baby leaves pasted to gnarly live oak trees,
While spirals of gnats like tiny...

Congratulations!
You’ve won the night’s most honorary award
For saying that you felt the same,
And taking it back after just five days
Now look what you did, you made a little girl cry
You looked just like Prince Charming
Until you pushed her off
The monkey bars
Don’t you know you shouldn’t...

Morning hoofs a trail of smoke,
Horsepower for modern folk,
With eyes slightly open for pay.
Watch others dive in, do backstroke.

She was almost a phantom
90% ghost
10% her
The leftover ashes from the fire

And I wanted to help her
Rekindle her warmth 
And help her follow
A trail of smoke to the sky

She has been turned grey
By others who leave her wanting
She leaves me wanting
But I crave hunger

And I...

The horizon ablaze with marmalade embers whisper upon the edge of  blue sky
Vibrant pastel bush strokes stretch out to electrify a calm emerald lake as a slight breeze touches the tree tops with a peaceful sigh
A feeling of perfection in subtle breathes of completion...
