002: The Smoking Ban

Colin, you said it very well

I like the words you use: boak & crabbit which conjure up animal images as well as sounds and other human gestures. Your's is a nice way of giving advice. I hope it helps those who need to. Here we are just addressing a total smoking ban in restaurants. Luckily for us, some have adopted one voluntarily.

Colin, thank you for your comments, I've read all yours, they're great, I especially like The Smoking Ban, and the words Boake and Crabbit, which I know, but have never seen in poems before. Some of your thinking is very deep, perhaps only being adressed when you write yourself(s) . Keep writing, poetry is a very good way of standing with your thoughts exposed. I will post some old work which deals with standing outside yourself, looking in. Thanks

you almost rhymed me into stopping fanniesson

I've smoked for 40 years, however last April made 5 years without a cigarette. My lungs feel clear and free. thank you for commenting on my poem 'What mystery attracts me to you America'

this helps me in a good way.....thank you for this poem

I rated your poem a 10, as i thought it was funny, i should have rated it a zero, because i smoke and kinda like it, banning smoking from pubs was the pits grr, I see your fae scotland, I lived in perth for 10 years, not so far from you, sorry about the typos, i did not have time to spell check as i was in such a hurry to get the poems on here, i will re-edit tomoz x

You're entitled to your view, but I don't have to put my shirt in the wash basket when I come home from the pub anymore... Colin...

Nice work...I had this image of people in a pub singing this song with their beers in the air lol! -Michael

Nice one, Colin. A friend of mine just recently quit. Easier said than done but well worth it.
