The Smoke rises
and looks upon me.
The air is too humid
too hard to breath

Down to Earth
but yet so free.
Goes with the wind
but stays close to me.

You are always there
an echo to my cries.
Though you always make me smile
With your gray smokey eyes

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

I think it is a great poem but you neeed to define more who it is about because i cant decide weather it is about a girlfriend, girl you like, or a best friend. also try writing longer poems it helps you be more descreptive. Also focus in health class you do learn stuff in health.
