Creating a Smile
Untie the tangled tired nerves
let loose in feather, and deeply sleep
as no night patterns are left in caves,
the morning's eyes shall wake and sweep.
Enhale the silence of the dawn
where breeze and birds put down the frown
then share a charity, do not postpone,
let nothing but death put you down
Unlace your spirit, give God a praise
fill up your cup with morning's grace
then race the passion, the golden rays,
I trace a smile now on your face.

Very nicely done poem piece just some thoughts
Analysis of poetry can be difficult, but there are a few important guidelines to keep in mind. First, identify the speaker and the situation of the poem. The speaker is not always the poet, and knowing if the speaker is a grieving son, a joyful nature lover, a murderous husband, or a thankful lover is helpful in determining the major ideas of the poem. Next consider the basic situation. What is being described or narrated? Now,identify...Untie the tangled tired nerves
let loose in feather, and deeply sleep", really engaging thoughts you have embellished here.

Hello Mario
Great to have you on my page. I didn't think much about the speaker in fact as the ultimate goal was creating the smile.
I didn't get your next thought but welcome any suggestions for improving.
Highly appreciate your kind visit.

This poem tells me that Rula
This poem tells me that Rula is truly back.l Though I cannot comment on the meter....you know how bad I am with it ...i guess this is a sonnet and a good one...I am sure writing this would have given you a lot to smile about ...i certainly did...
Warmly...

Thank you raj
your words of praise mean a lot. It wasn't a sonnet though followed almost the same rhyming pattern.
So pleased to know you like it.
Thank you for your time and the visit dear friend.

Eeeks
I got it wrong again thinking that it could be a sonnet.....never mind what form it is as long as it brings in a smile for the poet and reader...

Thanks Rula
for your kind words. I still consider my self an amateur and keep trying. I shall never forget the time and patience you and Judyanne had with me in walking me through the nuances and finer points of Sonnet and still feel bad that I did not live upto your expectations...any news about Judyanne.? I havent see her here for a pretty long time...may all be well with her...
Warmly...

I thought...
it rather obvious that the speaker was the poet and liked the title.
The rhythm was rather good and followed through the whole of the poem and the nice surprise of the last quatrain in odd and even rather than just the two rhyming lines made it nice to my ear. I followed the logic all the way through. Very nice. ~ Geezer.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

Hello, dear Rula, a very
Hello, dear Rula, a very nice write, I like your prescription for creating a smile. The only bump I ran into was understanding how the word 'nay' is used here. I think you use upfill for meter purposes, but I think up has a stronger stress than fill, so for meter fill up does not seem a problem.
The first line is a winner, but the beginning of the third quatrain really reverberates with me: "Unlace your spirit" now that is beautiful. What I like best of your poetry is when it reflects your inner goodness.

Dear tyro
Thank you for the thoughts. I too wasn't sure about the use ' nay 'in that particular place, therefore changed to "no", hope it makes a better sense now.
Many thanks. Highly appreciate your passing by and the help

Nice poem
A nice affirmation poem. I had no issue recognizing the “public stance” of the writer using an abstract you or I. I might only consider variation on commonly used images such as “golden rays.”

dear poetess Rula temporarily posted here 23 hours restriction
Smile
a fact of life,
a guy exists only;
because girls do
they take his tension away
in many
more than one way
her smile
makes him feel invited,
her glances make
one feel attractive
and
whatever they do,
when you smack your lips,
his stands, awaiting your rescue.
That’s why all guys
to gals say, I love you.
she strokes her hair
and
indicates shall do
hope they will publish this one too
Mark Antony and Dearest Johnny
well
I seem
to have fallen short of smiley words
in this one hence an
added extension.....
Composed in 2011 read by only 1108 till today
great don't say NAY!!!
