Senryu - Smile Poem by Leslie Alexis

Happy faces smile
And sad faces most times cry
And tears purify.

A smile stimulates
Many smiles, and triggers joy
As tears sometimes are

Happy, smiles sometimes
Do hurt, and faces sometimes
Smile and cry as one -

When Joy conquers nerves
That rule the happy faces,
Then freed tears run far

Away from their source,
Beautifully, and hearts pump
More with each giggle.
