Floating Smile

A smile was floating in the sky Before the sun broke free. I hope that others noticed it Aside, of course, from me. For such a sliver of the moon Is magical and rare, With just a hint of what we know Is hanging, hidden, there. The early morning risers Who look skyward from the street May, from time to time, be in for, Like today, a happy treat.

I swim on my back, so I see that smile as well as many other wonderful things every day! Thank you for reminding everyone they don't need a telescope nor binoculars to see the beauty around them! Aloha! Rico

I wonder how many people glanced at it and didn't give it a second thought whereas you capture the moment perfect and pen a super rhyme for us all to enjoy the moment with you:-) hugs jan x

I saw it this morning Ilene and it was magical. Just the faintest sliver of the bottom of the moon like a misty smile in the sky. It was wonderful and so is your poem.
