POEM STARTER
Swirling Smoke
Write a poem that starts with these words.
Meaning of life
Smoke swirls from the end of your pipe
And I ask you the meaning of life
You grunt and turn away
I guess I’ll ask another day
Smoke swirls from the chimney
And I ask the sky
What is the meaning of life
But the clouds drift away
I guess I’ll ask another day
Smoke swirls from atop the fire
I ask the pot
What is the meaning of life
The pot turns to the kettle
And neitger of them can say
I guess I’ll ask another day
Smoke swirls above the flickering candle
I ask the wax
What is the meaning of life
The wax melts further down and away
I guess I’ll ask another day
Smoke swirls up up up
I look up as high as I can
And I scream
What is the meaning of life
The void seems to swallow my words
And spit them back out
Unable to answer
So I turn to you
My readers
My friends
What is the meaning of life?
