Smile

"It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living." F. Scott Fitzgerald -The Beautiful and the Damned-

Bright on her face, lain so ideal

Like rain on tin roof nights

One glimpse enough to heart congeal

Those ivory pearly whites

A day so damned, tis quite a curse

Filled with hate and shame

You ask yourself, "Could it get worse?"

Not with fiery flame.

Two rows twinkle, dimpled cheek

Lines form by her eyes

Tiny nose wrinkle, perfect technique

Bringing the worst down to size

Perched on her face, right under nose,

A beautiful flower grows.

Author's Note

Sorry for the choppiness, please forgive.

I like the hopeful message at the end; that there is something beautiful waiting for us right around the corner and if we keep searching for it we will find out it was right under our nose the whole time. Very lovely poem you have written here :) be proud
