abuseYou know, whether or not this is intended as Anti-smoking, it certainly comes off as such. It's very well written, and personally, I feel no moral compunction about ripping on idiotic personal decisions.If this weren't copyrighted, I would post it in public places.

abuseWaa, I haven't been on Fp for forever, too. (So lazy... and yes, Finals and Christmas and other horrors...) *laugh* And you are not a bad friend... I'm just as bad. I don't think I've talked to you since before November! Good gosh, isn't that crazy?? Don't you miss my pointless, insufferable, rambling e-mails? *snorts and dies*

Anyway, moving on! *gloms onto your poem* But your writing is beautiful as always! (In a sort of morbid way this time, though. But thus it had all the more depth. Lovely.)

Okay, so I totally have a few things I must point out! I -loved- this line: [Words of vague disappointment] so much because it fit so nicely with the following: [And barely remembered / Anger]. I don't know... I think it was the vague and barely diction which really made them seem like a pair or something to me... again, I'm not sure, but *swoon* I just really liked it.

Also, having a cigaretted compared to a respirator.. *ironic chuckle* so good. You are a genius! *prods mina*

Also, I had no idea that in the 20s people called cigaretts coffin nails... when I first read the poem I simply took it as some rather morbid (but wonderful all the same, of course) imagery. How did you know they were called coffin nails? Do all people know this and I'm just clueless? Hmm... maybe you're just too smart for me...

Also, it didn't seem at all anti-smoking to me. You'd have to be really -looking- for proof and then stretching the poem to find its "purpose" or what not to would be anti-smoking. Hem. Hopefully that makes sense. I stink at explaining. *sigh*

Again, I love your poems to death. Was this for class, or did you just come up with it...? Really, this boggles my mind, because I seriously suck so horrendously at poetry. *leeches Mina's skill* Ho ho..

Anyway, I am sure either I shall pester you much too soon for your liking, or you shall pester me, and thus, I will talk to you soon!

*love love*

(If I'm not making sense at all it's because, well, you know I have no brain.)

Oh my gosh, and one more thing! This is my 100th (signed) review! So it's extra special even if it seems like I'm a blathering twit. (So few reviews, I know, I am bad and evil). Alright, alright, going now...

abuseA wonderful poem's that anti-smoking. I've never read a poem about this topic (that's good, it means it's unique) and I'm glad you've described such an urgent issue in our society in such an artistic way. I thought it had wonderful descriptions and was wonderfully written.
