just playing around w/ repitition of lines...came out pretty spiffy i think...

The match was lit

And the smoke

Whispered faintly in the dark,

Like the fading exhaust of a

Get-away car

Racing in the dark.

 

The match was lit,

And the car was parked

At the safe house

That they'd never find,

For lack of looking

Right in front of their eyes.

 

The match was lit

For lack of looking,

And the smoke

It bit like a get-away car

Racing in the dark,

As the house sunk

Into red and

Criminal gray,

Ash to save the day.

 

At the safe house

For lack of looking

The car was parked

That they'd never find.

 

And the smoke.

 

The match was lit.

Repeating lines is very fun, isn't it? I like it because it focuses on that one image rather than everything else. It may not work in a story, but it makes for a nice poem.
