Morning Cigarette

Wrote this poem kind of spur of the moment...

Necessary, every morning

Even before my first thoughts start forming

Waking up, I find my BiC

Placed on my bedside, next to my pack of cancer sticks

Opened up,

Ready to start the day

Take a drag, and then I’m on my way…

Author's Note

Was smoking a cigarette and reading the word Newport written at the bottom when this came to mind. Wrote it down right away. Never really done a poem like this, so let me know what you think ^^

I very much liked it. It reminds me of my own addiction. Hahaha. I can't help but smoke, especially when I'm writing. It helps me focus and keeps me from bursting during stressful situations. Your poem is very short and to the point and so shall my review. I loved it.

Cheers.

lol Thank you. I don't smoke in my house, so I've had to take to making cigarette breaks during my writing. I've noticed that most of my best lines and verses seem to come out when I'm smoking, though. Now I take a notepad with me when I go out to smoke. I couldn't think of a word to write, though, on this night. I was reading the word Newport and then this came to mind.

Well, it was an amazing outcome. I don't smoke inside either, though. I usually just take my laptop out with me or a notebook. They're very handy. I, personally, have four that I carry around with me.

This one reminds me of a Beatles song ..A Day In The Life..""Woke up, fell out of bed" It has the same beat to it sorry just popped in my head as I read this and I'm the same way with my first cup of coffee...Don't even talk to me before it's brewing

lol Yeah, this is the first acrostic poem I've ever done. I was outside, smoking a cigarette, and looking at the word Newport on my cigarette and this came to mind lol And I love that song. I'm a big Beatles fan.

Went to see Paul in concert about a year ago ..Really a great concert and he opened up his feelings about his strained relationship with John and how he always thought he would have time to make up someday, someway

[MachinaWriter]

That sounds amazing. That's quite a thing to do on stage, in front of so many ppl.

With tears ..real tears too..I gained such respect for him

Menthol is s**t, bugle boy roll your own,hell grow your own, strip it, hang it in the barn,Open and be nimble let your mind fly, you got it now share.

This is well done. Normally I find this poem a bit to simple but this one isn't. Its very good.

How i miss those "cancer sticks"... i quit a month ago. Well at least i can live out my addiction vicariously through you. Good read!

[Poetta]

Very cool. I like how you made the first letter of each line bold so that we would definitely realize that the letters line up to spell Newport.

The line "Placed on my bedside, next to my pack of cancer sticks" seems kind of long; maybe shorten it to "Placed on my bedside, next to cancer sticks." Same with "Ready to start the day" ; perhaps "Ready today" ? Just so that the poem keeps its quick and steady flow.

Overall, nicely done. :)

This is interesting compared to the rest of your writing, but in a good way. I enjoyed it, it was very unique and nicely written.
