Her Coy Smile

A white handkerchief
    embroidered in lace
  concealed a coy smile on
    the fair maiden's face

  The very first 'feminist'
    in her own delicate way...
  to view the charms of her smile
    men had to do things her way

I try to visualize her coy smile partially hidden by a handkerchief. A beautiful still portrait, dear Gershon.

A paper tissue does not have the same charming effect as a lace handkerchief.
