Morning Smoke
by John F Taylor ©
The stench of the
Wet ashtray
Crashed through
The Morning air as
I
Waited for you
At the bus stop
The couple next to me
Are like wild dogs in
Heat
He pulls it out and
Her scarlet lips part
Easily
Just as they had so many times
Before now
She easily accepts
It's stiffness into her waiting
Mouth
She notices me watching and asks
" Do you mind,
I Ran out of matches."
John's self-proclaimed assault on the literary world can be traced back to his birth. John made contact with a mentor who helped him to see the world as a poet, and more importantly, a human that had something to say inside of him. Since that time he’s focused most of his artistic energies into his poetry
John has written nearly One thousand poems and several short stories As well as Plays and screenplays. He’s also been published numerous times on the World Wide Web at such sites as Junkyard Press, Quantum Muse, Free-verse, as well as others. Taylor has Self-Published three books to date and is currently working on a novel. He describes his poems as “emotional tangents with a bit of social commentary thrown in for good measure."
