Curse of the Smokescreen - Poem
This weeks' poem was written based on the word "Smokescreen". Sometime last week, I heard that word as part of a line in a certain song which will remain unnamed and something about it stuck out as a concept or idea for a new poem, so I decided to try and see what I could come up with using the word as my focal point. The "key word" and basic premise if you will, was pretty much there from the start for me, but I did not know how to begin to create and develop all that into something that would do the idea of the "Smokescreen" justice. Until, something clicked in my mind and everything began to fall into place. With newfound clarity, some awesome lines and rhymes from On High, and some lights splashes of poetic energy the poem spilled forth on to the screen and I knew as soon as it was finished and ready to go, that it would be shared this week. So, with much gratitude and excitement, I present to you, "Curse of the Smokescreen". I hope you ...
