Annie Lander Poet Light Verse

What's In a Smile : Beauty

He captured her charm
 Serenity and intelligence image
 Frequent glances
From the canvas then back to her face

Asking her not to smile
Was like asking her not to breathe.
Patience isn’t her best trait
^
What’s in a smile? Beauty
And everything! Apparently
Such a shame it wasn’t image of a young woman
In her prim,
 The one whom
Everyone got to know and love
^
Her strong features, her openness, 
Transcend the warm of a morning rose bulb,
 Blooming openly in the spring,
^
 He paint the colors of an autumn theme
Instead of a warm spring;
The shape of her face, 
The curve of the lips
Strong feature, 
Yet, so inadequate
To be future queen
