Notes About The Poem

Entered in 1432 Your Choice Contest Sponsored by Brian Strand

What Makes Me Smile

Amethyst jewels a wedding ring
Blue birds song happy to sing
Cotton clouds in the sky in spring
Denim allowed in my casual dream 
Ebony eyes in a baby face
First prize in a poetic race
Green grass between my toes
Happiest laughs from heart of gold
Inspiring testimony from lives lived
Joy and mercy my God gives
Kente cloth all colorful and soft
Lavender and lilies in my loft
Melodic music of various speeds
Optimistic people are an awesome breed
Purple is a color I love
Quietly I watch a beautiful dove
Rainbows and roses make me grin
Smiling profiling handsome men
Thoughts of love despite pain
Universal hugs create positive change 
Whimsical thoughts and literature 
X-ray and hope for diseases cure
You’re still reading makes my heart lift
Zero taxes to pay is a gift
