Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

My Face Is a Happy Place

Eyebrows thin, half-moon curves on top
   Beaming hope, 'Good Ship Lollipops'
Over bright, cheery eyes, Nature's 'eaves-drops'
   ~ My face is a happy place 

Mouth forming a crescent smile
   Its pleasing shape quite versatile
Corners creased from frequent laughter
   Lips parted, aglow, forever after  

Cheeks rosy, abloom with joy
   Just as they were when I was a boy 
Of sadness or gloom, nary a trace
   ~ My face is a happy place

Quoth Theraven December 9, 2019 at 10:09 PM Gershon, You found a happy place in this poem. “It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald Gershon Wolf December 10, 2019 at 2:38 PM Wow, Richard! Thanks for the great Fitzgerald quote. Never would have pegged it as from hm. Kudos! Season's best, Gershon
