Link with 927: Rings.

[Smoking laws in many places have generally grown tougher over the years. Those of us who are non-smokers and living in a non-smoking city or province/state often take this for granted. At one time this haiku would depict a normal scene in a restaurant.]

I love this haiku...even if I don't smoke. ;p

As a former pipe-smoker had again a good feeling!

polona said...

i've never smoked either but this is a fine image :)

Pamela said...

reminded me of a cartoon when I was a kid that depicted an old bear smoking, and grabbing the smoke rings and dipping them into his coffee and eating them like do-nuts.

Why don't I remember things that happened yesterday?

Thanks for the memory jump start.

Ah, well, we still have coffee.

Don't we?

Irene: Glad you like it. Your ";p" is cute.

Aurora: Thank you (nice poem).

Floots: Who hasn't tried at least once, eh?

Tikkis: Ah, Tikkis with a pipe, maybe we can photoshop that in. :-)

Polona: Thank you.

Pamela: Cute cartoon.

Bill: Yes, especially espresso!

Donna: Yes, this image is not as common anymore is it?

So, you're depicting a vanishing world - the world as a swirl of smoke. This one will surely remain after the world of smoke is long gone...!:)

Haven't put one of those nasty things to my lips in 26 years. Back then I couldn't drink a cup of coffee without one. Well done!!

Masago said...

Borut: Yes, it does seem to be vanishing. :-)

Pat: Thanks.
