Jo Chamberlain Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

 

Genuine Smile

I smiled when reflecting last smile,
Authentic aching belly laugh
Contemplating its been a while
Evident on a photograph

Type of smile, aches across your face
Forced upon smile is without grace,
Genuine smiles reflect the soul
Spontaneous minus control ~

When I smiled, aching belly smile
Reflecting authentic laugh last,
Evident on a while its been
Contemplating a photograph

When you're selected to partake,
Practice to ensure it's not fake
