I wrote this piece for an assignment. I was asked to use a lot of alliteration.
Enjoy,
Dahv
City Smoker
Her hand grenade kissed the cigarette.
Butt burned, tobacco flaked.
Inhaled one breath
Exhaled gusts of ghosts.
Leaned against the wall –
Left leg up, sole pocketed
Between brick; right hand
Raised – her shadow
Graffitied a crime scene.
Her fingers, like scissors,
Opened, dropped the cigarette.
Smoke rose, twisted and turned
Into tiny tornadoes.
