“Smile”
If smiling could cure heartache,
Then laughter would ring loud. ‘”I
If smiling measured beauty, it,
Then everyone would stand proud.
If smiling helped the sick,
Then all could be a nurse.
But if smiling were a bad thing,
Then I would be the worst.
“Untitled”
Untitled was a basic poem
Who read of life and death
Created by a student
And read with half a breath.
Untitled was a classroom poem
Created for a blog
With all the grace and balance
Of a wild raging hog.
Untitled was a happy poem
Until one fateful day
When he learned he had no name
And then he ran away.
