Something cheerful?!

"For a change!" I hear you cry.

To offset the rancour of my last post.... I offer you what has often been praised as one of my most 'positive' poems.


A Smile

A smile is not
The crescenting of lips
Or dimpled cheek
Or fleeting glimpse of teeth

Nor even
The brighter flash of eyes

But the quickening of spirit
That shows in these
One instant
Of shared
Projected
Joy
