A Smile Begins

User Rating:

10.0 /10
(6 votes)



  Sitting in the sun, on a cold frosty day,
Feeling all its warmth wash my cares away.
Crisp chilly air sending senses high,
Wisps of clouds float across the sky.

A touch of spring in the winter time,
Lifting spirits that start to climb,
And a smile begins to take its shape,
Sitting in the sun in a wild landscape.

And what a beautiful smile you have Ernestine! I look forward to seeing it again soon, hopeful for stratford. Your poem was beautiful too and made me smile, wishing you a tranquil and warm spring weekend, Tai

Yes, it's lovely to be able to sit outside in a bit of sunshine. The trees are beginning to turn green with new growth and the air smells wonderful. Your poem just reminded me of the approach to spring.......

What a way to start the day
As i begin to smile at your end
and i hope i can read your words each day
to make my life joyful and peaceful to the end.

I love this, Ern..so serene, so beautiful and wonderful
Hugs,
Meggie

You paint a replendent poetic-scape, young lass...and if you ever decide to disappear on us again, like you have the past 6 weeks, (at least) ...you gonna' have Frankie '''The Night Writer ''' to deal with! ! ! ! !
