Definition: The visible vapor/vapour, gases, and fine particles given off by burning or smoldering material.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look,
At the word “smoke,” a curious book!
The dictionary gives us a helpful clue,
About what "smoke" really is, for me and you.
It says it's "visible vapor, gases, fine particles too,"
From things that burn, or smolder through!
Think of a campfire bright, a cozy scene,
Or a wood stove glowing, warm and keen.
When wood is burning, hot and slow,
It gives off smoke, you surely know!
And even when something just
smolders
low,
A little smoke will rise, you’ll watch it flow.
These tiny bits of gas and dust so light,
Are what we see as “smoke” in plain sight!
So remember this: It's not just a haze,
But particles released in countless ways!
Do you have any questions about this smoky treat? Let’s discuss it with glee!
