POETRY | DAY 25 | The Smile
The Smile, poetry by @naquoya.
Day 25 of 100 for @d-pend's Poetry Challenge
The Smile
A smile I give.
It's not much I know.
But it comes without needs,
expectations,
or thoughts of return.
A simple thing
that reminds me of life.
A joyous laughter,
a birds morning song,
a child's beaming eyes,
the sun's ray of light.
A smile I give
because it's been given to me.
Bringing remembrances
of what life
is trying to mean.
Reading Notes: This poetry is new and written exclusively for the 100 Day Poetry Challenge, which is explained in more detail here and here.

You're such an amazing writer, the way you use simple words to convey meaning is so outstanding your use if word is the most powerful too, good poem this is, I love it.
I thought I'd try something lighter, more life affirming. So glad you like it.

I am always amazed when I read something that creates such a visual, such a feeling in so few words. It is a skill I am not good at, so I think it is all the more impressive to me. You have a talent!
Thank you for your kind words. I think poetry can be good practice for experimenting with different word counts, but getting a clear point across in those words is the challenge. I'm glad I succeeded today, although I'm not sure I always do so.
A smile is definitely a very powerful tool. I have been using it a lot lately and the results are tremendous. Such a sweet poem btw. Something worth getting printed and hanging on your bedroom wall.
Smiles, like laughter can help dissolve physical and mental tensions. I think they are like a symbol of peace. They may not solves all issues, but they express an intent, to both others, and even to ourselves. And this matters. I like your idea of printing and hanging it up. I hadn't thought of that.
