Note Seventeen

Note Seventeen

Draft 2

By: Chase L. Currie

 

Flick the cigarette

from my hand

 

the burning head

dashes in the night

 

I make a wish

on a fading star

                but the wish

                would only be a

           dead one.

Reviews

[John the Baptist]

Has the sound of hopelessness, maybe bitterness. Cigarette imagery very effective.

[CLCurrie]

Thanks man, I'm glad you like it. It came to me while working on a novel as one of the characters thinks about wishing on flicking cigarettes.
