Broken Heart

FredPeyer

She was sad

She was hurt

Audaciously hiding

Her broken heart

Behind a big smile

That never left her face

      A gem of a write Fred - I'm a lover of shorties and this really nails it.

      • FredPeyer

        Thanks Michael, I know you are! I am learning from the best: You!

        Very good write Fred and so very true of many.

        • FredPeyer

          Thanks Goldie! Just because somebody is smiling doesn't mean they are not hurting!

          Good write Frank. I do tend to be long quite often - I waffle on! Why do I use 20 words when 5 may do?!

          • FredPeyer

            Thank you orchie! It is actually Fred and not Frank, but if you want to call me Frank that is OK too! So, why do you use 20 words instead of 5? Because you want to make sure we understand your intellectually challenging poems!

            • orchidee

              Oops sorry Frank - Fred! I don't mean them to be intellectually challenging - not cryptic so that no-one understands what I'm on about! Ohh, I just like to waffle sometimes, or I get carried away! lol

                  Thanks Laura, I think everybody wears a mask, at least some of the time.

                  • Laura🌻

                    Agree!

                    A great poem, so many have worn that hurt smile.

                    • FredPeyer

                      Thanks Christine! Sometimes all we can do is hide the real feelings.

                      I understand that pain is hard to deal with and a person can get use to the pain as well. It can be all day Act.
