Howdy

tetrameter sonnet

 

Howdy

 

 

If you should catch a passing smile.

Then wear it for a little while

before you pass it on again.

You cannot lose you always gain.

For smiles are most transferable.

Most everyone is capable

of giving and receiving smiles

 in many forms and many styles.

They take less effort than a frown

and lifts you up if you feel down.

 Surprise a stranger with a grin

a gesture that’s born deep within.

Strangers are friends you have not met.

A smile’s something they won’t forget

Nice form this tetrameter sonnet. I must try it sometime.
I loved this well written piece. It certainly would not
look out of place on a Hallmark card my friend!
Much enjoyed this uplifting poem!

My smile and grin grew broader with each word read

Wonderfully delightful my friend

I shall pass it on throughout the day

Howdy, Poeticpiers!
It's inspiring, the effect a passing greeting towards a stranger has.
It can truly make one's day! ^.^
Lovely piece,
Lovely message!
