The form Kimo attracted me to this SuZ. I read that this form of haiku originated in Israel and there tends not to be movement in the 3 lines. Well, there may not be movement but I was 'moved' by your skilled writing. It's quite an emotional piece and an accomplishment to put across such in so few lines: the subject's attempt to look happy when actually sad is described so well: smiling through pain and sadness - and maybe just relief to finally be able to express true emotions. Cheers - Gary

Very descriptive and expressive work about the photograph. It reads like someone has been going through a terrible time when this photo was taken. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

Photographs are fascinating. It's interesting to "interpret" frozen expressions and body language. Nice ! :)

A great way to express a smile and the pain behind it through your poetry, SuZ. I liked your Kimo. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Hi Daniel:thanks for your nice feedback. I decided to go back to this one for identity security reasons etc. This icon is one I have used for many years. …..
