Premium Member What Makes Me Smile 2 Review

What Makes Me Smile 2 is complete 
You submitted great work uplifting unique 
Allow me time to get affairs in order ok
I’ll be sure to write you and communicate 

There’s lots of decisions to be made 
What font and size how big a page
I want you to know I appreciate 
Your entry your patience and grace

You didn’t use AI and you persevered 
Makes me smile and give a yellow cheer
You wrote from your heart meek and mild
A big part of what makes me smile

So I may need to soup mail each of you
Or even email to keep things smooth
There is a need to protect YOUR work
So that it’s not stolen by a jerk

I want to say with all my heart
I will protect your poetic art
As a collective work I’ll register it
You have the right to refuse this

If you do refuse I can’t publish so
For legal reasons please let me know
I will include my email in the notes
So you can contact me ok folks?

Give me some time to get organized 
To format and spellcheck and dot I’s 
What you are doing is worthy of prize
Your work will brighten a day a night

Thank you so very much
