Notes About The Poem

May be an image of ocean, horizon and twilight

A BROAD SMILE





A broad smile, life seems to be 

That is gradually fading with the passing of the years.

Till it is fully eradicated by our... 

Insurmountable agonies and uncompromising fears!

Are you feeling down? Do I need to beat someone up? This write isn't your natural life tone. It is good, quite so but concerns me. Has your body become an enemy, your age raised fears a younger you would have refused? Rhetorical questions & nosey. I CARE. I'll remind you, you aren't your body and hush. Not hushing, are there people in your life, who know you and you can talk to? Now, hushing. When I wrote the monoku you read, I thought of you as the main one on Soup who would 'get it.' no room
