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 December 09, 2019 'The Metaphor of your Face' Contest Sponsor: John Lawless

Very cool poem, Gershon!! The imagery bristles w/innocuous joy and an effervescent spirit of youthful exuberance. Your golden ink overflows, my dear friend. Love and peace always.

Good ship Lollipop! Uh-oh. This truly dates us both. You for using it, and me for understanding it immediately! Bravo!

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

Wow, Richard! Thanks for the great Fitzgerald quote. Never would have pegged it as from hm. Kudos! Season's best, Gershon

Your face is really a happy place, if the attributes are the same.. Good luck
