A Smile

Skimming through the firmament, looping round the stars Dancing through the Milky Way, pass and say goodbye to Mars Whooshing through the galaxy thousands of miles an hour Ducking the shooting stars, watching the meteorites shower. For some, they need excitement to get them through their day Others it is for money they get on their knees and pray Celebrities for the shallow, cheeks to turn for the meek All these things make up the world, but what do we each seek? Sweets for the sweet but not for me please honey Not into chocolate bars, not into money Clothes for the naked, stilettos for the short Exercise for the weak, for the rest there’s always sport Food for the hungry, bed and mattress for those without Parents for the orphans, that goes without a doubt yet something just for me, may sound a trifle crappie A smiling face every day, to show you are happy. © 25/11/2012 ~GG~

Mandy you trapped me right away with references to space and space travel. Then you moved to considering those in need. Good indeed. Thanks for your comments on my Autumn Daunting Goes.

Never mind about the stilettos, I see you mean high heels, not daggers.

Nice. Did you really mean stilettos for the short, or rather stilts?

Wow, this poem is spectacular, by far one of my favorites I have ever read (and I'm not just saying that). Is it published or what? It's really good, and you are extremely talented... I've read some of your other poems as well. You should visit my site: poeticpossibilities.tk ! I think this poem could have a really good chance of winning one of our contests! Wish you the best with your poetry and I hope you get published! : )Jacob Cramer
