One Cigarette Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDECFGHIJKLMNONo smoke without you my fire | A |
After you left | B |
your cigarette glowed on in my ashtray | C |
and sent up a long thread of such quiet grey | C |
I smiled to wonder who would believe its signal | D |
of so much love One cigarette | E |
in the non smoker's tray | C |
As the last spire | F |
trembles up a sudden draught | G |
blows it winding into my face | H |
Is it smell is it taste | I |
You are here again and I am drunk on your tobacco lips | J |
Out with the light | K |
Let the smoke lie back in the dark | L |
Till I hear the very ash | M |
sigh down among the flowers of brass | N |
I'll breathe and long past midnight your last kiss | O |
