Hello

I say hello to everyone, I do, a friend, complete strangers, they're all the same, one word is all it takes, no matter who, so simple, and does not require a name. Most folk return the word wrapped in a smile, or maybe just a nod, that will suffice, the lonely, with no contact for a while are glad that somebody has broke the ice. But there are some wrapped tight within their zone, uneasy with incursions on their space, a reticence that shows itself in stone upon a passing bleak and lonely face. 'Hello' ,the chain's first link, give it a go, as every treasured friendship started so.

If the world was full of "viv"acious souls like yours it would surely be a kinder place. Fine thoughts cleverly sonnet wrapped.

Hello. I probably talk too much to strangers, but I'm with you - a smile and a hi mean so much. I also like smiling at miserable people. This is clever and cute, but also profound in its message. Enjoyed! Poetry hugs ... CayCay
