My Smile
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

WELCOME RICKY ~ Thanks for sharing your first Poem. Elegantly penned in Rhyming Couplets. We can all relate because we all smile ~ sometime ! Your opening triplet informs us that that A SMILE can brighten the day and break the ice. IT can be a revealing banner. IT can bring Comfort ~ Solace ~ Joy ! Then you go on to say your SMILE can be excluding ~ keeping us at bay. It can look lovely ~ but it is also a MASK ~ a CLOAK ~ to hide heartache. Your poem makes me question my own smile ~ is it sincere or cynical ? It also makes me more quizzical of the smiles of others ?
Can we really smile ~ when our heart is aching ~ smile when its nearly breaking ~ I wonder ? Thanks for sharing ~ yours BRIAN. Please check my site which I share with my Fiancee ANGELA ~ OK.
