Smoke-Dreams

 Bjorn is hosting Meeting the Bar in the Pub ~~ we are challenged with using "kennings" in our poems ~~ a figuratively-phrased compound word that is used in place of a simple single-word noun.



watching
through half-moon eyes
wondering where 
those ghost-rings drift and fade
waiting for the next
breath-cloud sigh
wishing you would
cast eye-lanterns my way
share the soul-secret
buried deep inside
