Puff of Smoke is a poem written by Lynn White and shared with The Ugly Writers under the theme The Best Bad Idea for the month of January

Puff Of Smoke

I remember the children’s party.
There was a magician.
I’d never seen a magician before.
He waved a stick called a wand
and a puff of blue smoke came out,
like magic.
And hidden in the smoke were flowers,
real flowers
showing through a gap in the smoke.
Since then
I have discovered that some people
can usually find a gap in the smoke
where the light shines through,
like magic.
Usually.
