Flashing her pearly white teeth;
She speaks in a sweet, melodious voice

An amazing poem......mere bahar shor hi shor tha, aur andar gehri khamoshi.....loved it :)
I almost missed the news that 'Smiling Girl' is 'poem of the day'! Well, my friend, I'm late, but here I am.. :) Indeed, I had often wondered when one of your poems* would be made 'poem of the day'.. since your poetry is REAL POETRY and awakens its readers to the reality of the world.. - Well done, PH! (*there are many that should be such)
Dear Fabrizio. A lot of this poem belongs to you. I remember writing a few weird ones like PoΓ¨te Maudit and Fragmented Thoughts, poems filled with unnecessary jargons and writien, as I can fully admit, with an intention to 'show off' my 'intellect', and you advised me to write poems as poems should be written, with images and a poetic language. This poem might have come without that advice, but never would it have taken the shape it took. I will take those words of yours that made me a 'real 'poet' to my grave dear friend. You have shaped me, alongside Daniel, Pam, and Kelly, in particular, into a poet I am ππ
Glad I popped in to see what my friends are writing and glad I came back for good. Lovely poem Souren, all the emotions captured so well leaves the readers in awe. Very touchy..straight from your heart.
The first image that came to my mind on reading this poem was that of an air hostess who always wears a smile on her face. But, when she is her own self, there may be hundred and one problems afflicting her. This is quite often these days to encounter people with dual or a personality. Thanks a lot, Souren.
Simply superb poem as also the insightful imagery. Heartiest congrats for inking it as also on it's poem of the Day.
This is a wonderfully written and insightful piece. I think we both understand the psychology of what you describe, but your description is hauntingly poetic and the metaphors are sharp and pointed. Glad to see you, and this piece get this recognition. Peace and love.
Thank you Kelly. I have been fortunate to have you around since my days as a 'new' poet to this time. You had been a great friend and reader dear. Thank youππ
Smile have miles apart when it comes to love, the story behind the smile is sometimes nostalgic and intriguing so be careful while dealing with such smiles. A thoughtful poem Souren and Congrats for the honours POTD....
Beautiful poem and a pleasure to read. Yes many broken hearts and toes are hidden behind some smiles. She is courageous to keep on smiling. A positive attitude is the biggest asset. Someday she would smile I her heart too. Congratulations for poem of the day selection.
The third stanza is breathtakingly beautifully written. While reading, a wave of certainty came that one day she will discover the great healing power of absolute forgiveness and break out of the opaque glass globe and smile inside again too. Hatred inside is like the acid rain, only damaging ourselves Forgiveness is like sunshine, like honey, curing our soul.
Simple, short, beautiful poem that resembles both a red rose and the mist surrounding it. Congrats for poem of the day! (10)
Ahhh! Congratulations Souren. How cool that this poem got poem of the day. Well done. I've already commented on this one at length. :) Well deserved.
Thank you so much dear Pam. You were the first to comment on this poem here as well as in the 'Anthology'. Your kind words and your friendship have only made me a better poet ππ
Such a beautiful depiction of a girl's innermost self. A female often has to wear a fake smile in front of the world. Congrats on well-deserved honor of being the poet of the day.
It is a simple to read and wonderful poem of a girl who smiles in spite her agony inside.
Hiding her pains, she was flashing her sweet smile- - -The picture you painted through your beautiful words is true of many innocent girls who go through pains yet do not show it.Hiding one's pain even to a lover may have many reasons behind it.Sometimes one may hide, because she does not want to hurt him.One may think that showing pain is treated as one's weakness. Smile can also be pretentious.Your poem expresses tender and sweet feelings.A great write.Congratulation for Poem of the Day.
Wonderful poem, as many others had already discovered, based on all the great comments. Not much more to be said, except congratulations on having it chosen as member poem of the day!
