Short Cheeriness Poems

Sunshine effused into my cup,

nebulous…with vanilla silk.

Something young inside this bitter old heart flickers for a start,

Bearing the weight of signs and kindly murk,
no frock on hands, I glory in my work.

Twirling, grinning like a little girl, smiles
fall from nimbostratus clouds a short while.

Simplicity, from God’s trust, delivers,
bright cheeriness and heavenly shivers.
