Smile Inside. Poem by John Kipling Lewis
Smile Inside.
There's a smile inside
I can find it when I'm alone
in a cafe when it rains.
When I pratfall and no one notices.
It's a wonderful new place unexplored
or the flaw in an ancient vase.
I catch it in the mirror.
It's a face I can't practice.
It's not full of fear
or double thought.
It's the fresh path that leads
to new stimulus.
And I don't mind being alone.
Good one, I like it. It get the brain and thoughts a thinking.
5. A good start, but focus on the details and images and not the abstractions (things like 'fear' and such which don't convey specific experience, but generalities.)
