Where Eyes Hurl Darts
I step into a room of smiles
whose eyes hurl darts at me
What’s concealed
never revealed
Shaking inside
I wade cautiously upstream

Add Humor To Your Day
Instead of acting like you’re in mourning
With a smiling face, just say good morning
Instead of walking around with a frown
Just be happy without being a clown
Kids don’t need for your tales to be gory
Why not share with them, a funny story
No need to go on about your ex-wife
Say something humorous about your life
To break

Trusting His Smile
it was a bright pretty happy day
Joy had always been excited about life
she was from a small town
seventeen years old, in her happy element
She was from the kind of a town where people take care of each other
her bicycle chain broke on a country road
a nice-looking man in a blue pickup truck smiled at her
He

WHO'S SMILE
Of all the people we have known in our life
through all the years…across all the miles
may we take a moment today
and think of as many of them as we can
who have ever…blessed us with their smile

Dog Chases Tail
Dog chases his tail round and round,
was he spell bound?
He looks very funny,
like a wound up dog bunny.
Did you ever feel like this crazy dog?
Are you living in a fog?
Maybe you are asking where am I going?
Is life unknowing?
Could we be chasing our own tail?
Take a deep breath and have a cold ginger ale.

Smile Between the Screams
When a mishap takes place...
I ignored it, and pressed on.
What else to do?
Grace is not always polished.
But I can smile between the screams.
If I stumble, that's how we grow---
and if luck feels absurd,
I'll chuckle all the way under...
Because every problem has a resolution
in its own time.
No matter how long it will takes---
I'm sure it

Smile from a Kiss
To hearts united through the social media circus
It has brought me into trusting of others
Your smile was a kiss to my soul and heart!
A House divided will never stand fully without the support of the other side; so, the east and west must unite for a centered family life!
Diamante! Domenica! (Diamond! Sunday!)
Your words of care

Kiss from a Smile
When we first met it was in a room of the unknown.
Your background was of a woman’s silhouette.
A mysterious picture of a person that was questioning everything
I did not know who you were!
All I saw was your words of a beautiful question
Those words in the beginning I do not remember as I only remember speaking

Who Am I
This may seem lame.
Let’s make it a game.
I’ll give you a clue.
You try to guess who.
Proceeding my entrance by just a short while,
Is often the presence or hint of a smile.
Used sometimes by women, more often by men,
Often, I start as a quaint little grin.
I can also be hardy, and sometimes quite loud,
And often

The Painted Smile
The Painted Smile
The Painted Smile on her face spoke louder than any word could ever be spoken. As she watched the world revolve around her as if she was not even there. Spinning as if a tornado threatened to whisp her away into a dark starless night.
The Painted Smile placed on her face by the

Sea Smiles
Strolling upon the shore at night,
cavorting crabs come into sight.
White-capped waves kiss the sultry shore,
whisper nothings in gentle roar.
Digging clams discover their holes,
hiding away within the shoals.
Starfish affirm their right of place,
disappearing without a trace.
Treasures blossom on cooling sand,
aglitter in a patterned strand.
Tiny rivulets run their course
returning to their common source.
Mysterious as it may be,
I

she looked up
cracking a little smile
her eyes far into the distance
and thoughts reaching out beyond
like all she needed were the memories

Rhythm of a river
Contest: Rolling With The Rs

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Heartbeat,
loud in my chest,
sings with sweet melody,
like the cadence of a streamlet,
when its silver ribbons drape the mountains,
with a smile that delights the sands,
as it cascades the slopes
and thunders—like
heartbeat.

Joys Strength
I wish to see smiles on your face.
They shall appear by Father’s grace.
As you travel down human miles,
on your face, I wish to see smiles.
May joy reside deep in your heart.
I pray God blesses all you start.
Dark and light both lifelong abide.
Deep in your heart may joy reside.
Stop life from fooling with joy’s strength.
It has
