Notes About The Poem

Tears and Smiles

\|/
@@@
-U-
tears
silent
roll down
her face
flow
into
>--------=----------her mouth---------=---------<
she detects the salty flavor
on the view of her other eye 
Its inherent leaking springs[ugh] 
wetness starts tumbling down 
right down her red cheeks
things will improve
as they usually do
It lends her some solace
her eyes are watering more
heat leaves her body as her skin stiffens. 
her glazed eyes do not react to their fall 
laughed then cried warm salty tears
burning up with emotion, red and unkempt
guess nothing for a smile doesn't convey happiness 
she is the allergen that causes all her woes
Her entire life's miseries struck once.
So, ladies, hear me out on this. 
Stay strong even if hot salty tears stop.

Andrea Dietrich August 24, 2023 at 12:58 PM these kinds of poems are so interesting . I thought this line was so brilliant: she is the allergen that causes all her woes
