farm boy's daydream
acres of wheat fields
turning golden in the sun 
not these upsetting rows
of waving green tobacco

Tobacco Plants

Life emerges,
Like a silent cigarette,
Pre-ordained to kill.

Healing through drinking.
Enjoying life through smoking
Tobacco and weed.
Perhaps natives were always
Onto that very something.

Old Man Bianco his vocal voice
stripped of all it’s octave choice
creaked and crowed in age and vice
“Liquor, tobacco, you pay the price!”

Grey road red feather light. Stone eagle whirlwind horse. Found diamond flying sober in the sweatlodge. Real red tobacco carries many needs

Why unaware it’s harmful to health? 
Still,to ignore and pain to bear with
To back to company,the hidden warning 
Taking to God,tobacco meaning!

Cut a Quad

There was a large stout man named Joe Brewer
Who once was a great tobacco chewer
Cut a quad
Chew the wad
Now with no teeth he gums the leaves fewer

Silhouette

Broken glass tiptoes
tomorrow's regret
caught in the shadows
of last night's upset
stained by tobacco
one more cigarette
framed by the window
his dark silhouette.

Premium Member Tobacco Road

He met Tula on a road -
Tobacco Road,
After a play.
She twirled for him at night,
But that was some time after.
First there was the long Tobacco Road.

Premium Member Terrible Lyrics While In the Shower

Sung very loud:

Wouldn't you like a ride on my beautiful cigar
Wouldn't you like to glide in my beautiful cigar
We could float among the puffs together, you and me
Cuz we got fleas, we got fleas.

Life On Tobacco

two fingers hug the tobacco in cloak
lips kiss cigarette to drink fire fog
lungs dance to survive
cough laughs upon life
to health advice chain smoker is a mock

Country Life

Hill life, country side
Riding horses, redneck bride
Overalls and camouflage theme.
That's the new party scene.
Tobacco chewing and sipping on 
some moonshine
Come on to the country for a good ol' 
time.

Premium Member If I could Design my Garden Pests

If I could design my garden pests, I would have pink tobacco hornworms
Rainbow striped lady bugs, and bees carrying dusters instead of stingers
The faeries would wipe their feet on my dahlias and call me Trixie

Lady From Morocco

There is an old lady from Morocco,
Who cries whenever she smells tobacco,
She sued her neighbour,
Fined three weeks labour,
She sleeps with a lamp beside, called Jack-O.

Smoke Free - Part Ii

I've been smoke free two months today.
I haven't smoked and I hope that's how things will stay.
Please don't start smoking, it wasn't a good thing for me to do.
Please say no to nicotine because that is what is best for you.

The Quit

Nicotine drips from his flesh,
Brawn tainted by addiction cries
Emotions enmesh—
Nicotine drips from his flesh,
With tobacco laden breath
The crinkle of burning paper dies 
Nicotine drips from his flesh—
Tissue, tainted by addiction cries
Form: Triolet

He Just Couldn'T Quit

A cigarette he lit
Because he had no whit
Then came the tobacco spit
He just had no power to quit

He was told not to start
He broke mama's heart
Now with these he can't depart

The Burning Canvas

crispy verbs you let me use 
after you were done
ironed out by my tongue
nestled between my cheek
and gum
Spit  brown
tobacco  sounds
rolled and chewed 
imbued with your borrowed life
spat out  against the 
burning canvas of  my mind

Premium Member I Am

without a denial
life is brief and sticky sweet
tobacco claims me
ingested, it now eats me
still, it draws me, my lover  

malformed cells heedless
spread diminishing myself
imploding, anxious
still I rise blessing, loving
cancer is not me, I am

Premium Member Cancer Our Task Master-

sweetcorn tied snug to a white pillar 
tobacco leaf em-prisoner of soul 
seasonal grey ragged tint 
cancer causer to rot 
a beady black eye 
the war tattoo 
calls bodies 
rusting 
grates

Unquaking the Duck

Code-ical echoes rise with the dawn
On yellow reeds tobacco smoked fog
Aged and stained the hunter waits
Whiskey breath with bullets cold
Quak quak then pop pop is heard
Duck for dinner is just around the corner
Just past the rifle barrel as it unloads
