Smile sits, content
a dove upon a nest
settles down
for morning snooze
in arms, not meant.
In arms not meant
smile stretches
like a cat
in warmth
and harmony
content.
Smile knows
no matter
that it is not meant
for pleasure grows
and echoes
in another smile
another smile
content.
With warmth of skin
so close
so almost safe
smile has no cares
smile so content.
In arms not meant.

so almost safe - I like this best.... the rest's not bad :)
Endorse all the others, Ann. Circular, sensuous, wise.
There's a bit of a crowd here but I'd like to join in and agree with them, Ann. It's interesting that the poets who like it have such different styles themselves - you've written something here with a very wide appeal. Is it going in Anthony's Happy Competition?
Beautiful. Agree with what Marianne says - it's my favourite part too.
Crikey Ann, this sounds like Shakespeare! Lovely words, lovely rhythms and so gentle. Best one yet??
Absolutely lovely Ann - like the new name too :)
Beautiful poem, Ann and beautifully read. xx
Enjoyed it, very sweet.Were you not tempted with "for morning rest"? To give the rhyme.I think the repetition of the title works very well. I'm less convinced by another smile another smile content.Just one would do me.
smile stretches like a cat - that's good and it's nice how the smile seems to be acting independently of its wearer.
How could we fail to be content on listening to this recording.

I love your reading voice!!
This is a beautiful poem, I particularly love - "Smile knows no matter that it is not meant for pleasure grows and echoes in another smile another smile content."
so true.
