Submission for "The Haiku of Now" Challenge

The white smoke dissolves -

Thick wafts of perfumed vapor -

On a black canvas.

Haiku

About the Creator

I am a high school English teacher living in Maryland with my wife & two fur babies. I like to write poetry & horror stories & like most writers, I'm working on ideas for books that are unfinished & waiting for my very divided attention.

    I love the night sky as the black canvas. Smoking seems so sexy and romantic in films and poetry...but I don't dare. Top Haiku in my book!
