Smiles Poem by Parameswaran Nair Damodaran Nair

Smiles

Rating: 4.8


Meanings a smile wraps
Is of umpteen numbers.
A young girl's smile
To a young boy denotes
Her offer to love him.
An elderly one should realise
It to be her respect.
To a child it is her liking
A student's smile is a request
For more knowledge.
A teacher smiles in satisfaction
Smiles of gratefulness is great
Forced smiles carry jealousy
Beware, one who doesn't smile

Thank you very much Dr.Dillip. A smile is the act of opening the mind where positive and negative attitude is stored. The way of smiling reveals the true meaning of the smile

A smile conveys a number of emotions depending on who carries that smile and to whom it is meant! A smile can be an expression of love or joy! It can also be a contemptuous smile. However a well meaning smile can ignite many hearts. Unlucky are those who cannot smile as they may not get any love from others! A good poem denoting the nuances of smile!

Thank you very much dear poetess. Smiles carry love and respect, contempt and aversion. The nature of the smile is the opening of the heart. A true smile, of course, carries abundant of positive energy that can kindle happiness

Normally, a smile that is heartily shown/ given creates a ripple of happiness and joy. It carries magic. The way we smile can create friendship or enemy. A smile so genuine can create a bond that can touch our heart. A smile imbued with sarcasm invites animosity.

A cute poem on smile. Even if a smile has a different meaning with different people, yet it denotes a sense of joy, most of the time. It makes the viewer so happy. It is a positive assertion. Thank you dear Poet for this lovely poem.........5 stars

Thank you very much dear Geeta Menon. The positivity and negativity of a smile is always identified through the nature of the smile. Most commonly it is a mode of conveying love, friendship, mercy and so on. But envy and enmity can also be expressed in a smile
