Charlie Smith Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Looks That Whisper Or Shout

A LOOK CAN WHISPER OR SHOUT ITS ARRIVAL
     Once spent there's no retreat or denial
     Be careful to show
     Emotions that grow
     Into notions that could threaten survival

     Direct not a frown with a stare
     Unless you just don't really care
     Your chances are slim
     And may be starting to dim
     The time could be right for a prayer.
