" Your Eyes See"

A certain smile rises from an orange sky...
Not determined if its for real or a sigh...
If its a happy one, the day or night may be calm...
If its not, the clouds will gather and could cause some harm...
We can be positive and see nothing but a sultry grin...
Or we can be negative and see a smirk from all our sins...
The eyes never lie ,it's just what your mind will see...
If your closet is empty, then run under this sky and be free...

Hi Michael, I enjoyed your take on the photo for Carolyn's contest. I favour the positive 'sultry grin' I think the read could be improved slightly with addition of a couple of commas - Line 3, comma after 'one' - Line 4, comma after 'not'. (Also its requires an apostrophe if it's a contraction of 'it is'). Great write, best of luck in the contest ~ Sharon :)
