Sonnet.5. Smile Poem by Valsa George

Sonnet.5. Smile

Rating: 5.0


Each time your face is lit up by a smile
The world becomes a much happier place
A radiant smile shows that you are hale
It slackens muscles, lighting up your face

A hearty smile erases many a frown
And love kept alive for a little while
Even when you are miserably down
Face the world with a put on gentle smile

A sweet smile illuminates all around
It fills the gloomy Earth with brighter light
It can lift even those in sorrows drowned
Making their murky selves joyous and bright

If you can cause to make others smile
You're scripting for you a better profile

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
In the absence of any serious poem with me right now, I am posting a simple poem- a sonnet written long ago, strictly following the rhyme scheme ab ab, cd cd, ef ef, gg with each line having ten syllables. This is an experiment to see if I could stay within strict norms. Please forget about the content!

Sonnet is hard to write. You made it look so simple with a smile. Shakespearean rhyme scheme you followed is most popular and you did a great job in your composition. Thank you for sharing a smile.
