Question:

Is this poem any good

No smoke without you, my fire.

After you left,

your cigarette glowed on in my ashtray

and sent up a long thread of such quiet grey

I smiled to wonder who would believe its signal

of so much love. One cigarette

in the non-smoker's tray.

As the last spire

trembles up, a sudden draught

blows it winding into my face.

Is it smell, is it taste?

You are here again, and I am drunk on your tobacco lips.

Out with the light.

Let the smoke lie back in the dark.

Till I hear the very ash

sigh down among the flowers of brass

I'll breathe, and long past midnight, your last kiss.

  1. This is... One Cigarette by Edwin Morgan

    He's a very graphic, descriptive poet. He paints amazing picutres with his words.. the line "I am drunk on your tobacco lips" is actually the way that I feel about "my true love"...

    Love can be very intoxicating.

    More directly to answer your question, yes.... this poem is "smoking"!!
