Notes About The Poem

For Ink Empresses contest

Smiles

Smiles
Real smiles
Phony smiles
Trick pony smiles
Gray stony buck wild
Ulterior motive styled
Easy to drink like water
Cheesy white dreams you slaughter
Captured by a whimsical soul’s smile
Black and gold stories told by them so loud

Thanks Andrea! It’s a new form for me! I wasn’t bold enough. Lol
