a poem in my pocket

We’re smiling at dVerse where Dora hosts Poetics and serves similes…

a smile is like a sweet simile
to what can be compared?

much more than simply
an upside down frown or
show row of perfect pearls

like Solomon’s ewes with twins,
Shakespeare’s murderous grin,
or Carroll’s elusive cat…doth scat

my love’s desire to coax yours,
your smile my wit’s reward as our
hearts entwine like dental floss

to what, love, be compared?
yes, a simile is like a sweet smile!
