Sample Poems

Better than Words

He reached in his pocket
And pulled out a poke
A crumpled bag of Boxer
To roll a smoke

 With a strip of paper
From an old magazine
Torn from the bottom
Of a picture of the Queen

 He rolled a cigarette
Long and thin
Lit it up…
And drew it in

 He held it there
For a moment or two
Savoring the taste
As smokers do

 Then slowly let it out
Blue smoke curling
From his mouth

 Closing his eyes
He rolled back his head
Pictures…taste better
Than words he said!
