a smile is like a sweet simile
to what can it be compared?
much more than simply
an upside down frown or a
show-off row of perfect pearls
like Solomon’s ewes with twins,
Shakespeare’s half-murderous grin,
or Carroll’s elusive cat (doth scat)
my love’s desire is to coax yours,
your smile my wit’s reward as our
hearts entwine like dental floss
to what can poetry be compared?
aye, a simile is like your sweet smile!
