I Smiled Ct

I smiled when I’ve gone for a drink Sitting on a couch for some tunes I smiled when I’d no time to think Because of last-minute fortunes Pity I had no time to greet The gleaming bright light on your teeth My sight was never left behind By the guest with her child in mind I smiled when you’ve watched me perform I smiled when you’ve killed these perils I smiled when you’ve read my profile I smiled when you’ve kept me in peace Therefore, I have no dark regrets Of playing those grateful poets

Mark, this made me (LOL). Unfortunately the format was off or it would have placed higher. Thanks for entering my contest and congratulations on your placement. All the best...Charlie

Mark your third stanza should have been a re work of your first stanza, if you read Charlie's example it is much clearer what he wanted

Curiosity, how was the format off?
