A truly happy smile
That bares the joy within
A tear that is true to the pain
As the heart cries out for refuge
A laugh that chases everything away.
A bird that sits outside the window
Serenading in cheerful beauty
As sunbeams caress
Warm kisses on my face
And the cloudless sky silently greets
Smiling in its crystaline beauty.
But there are days
The sky hides behind downcast clouds
That cry cold tears
And the cheerful song of the bird
Is silent
Hushed
And I find no warm embrace
In the sun's golden beams.
I remember then
That the clouds will part
Sometime
Even if not today
And the robin always sings
After the rain is past.

Yeah, you kinda have to understand it... there's a lot of symbolism stuff in here, but that's my take on life. When crap happens, it's gotta stop eventually. But it is about life and its simplicity. It is it is... um... i don't know if there are any other writes yet... but i'll read them when they come

This is such an awesome poem. I know exactly how this feels. Right now we are in the grey clouds period in our life around my house. But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. So it might be over soon. Anyways, keep up the awesome poetry!!! Thank you for entering my contest.

I am always a sucker for the simple, happy things in life..especially involving nature. What makes this write extra special is the hope displayed in the end...just lovely!!!!!!

I like that this is so realistic-yes there are many good things to look forward to in our days, but there will also be those off days. Need to stay optimistic and keep our chins up cuz the next day or shortly thereafter, things will be good again. Best wishes in the contest!~vj

I guess I don't believe in simplicity. Because I read much more than just a simplistic piece of what happens in life. I think this had more depth to it, just like all writes would.
Unless of course you bluntly write
"Roses are red
Violets are blue.
Sometimes they turn to ash,
and other times they're vibrant".
That's simplistic...that's saying "Hey! Not everyday it'll be wonderful, like vibrant violets and roses, but sometimes it will be awful! Like flowers turned to ash." And still..you can see more into it then just that. I can't think of anything at this point in time..so yeah.
Good write though Aleicia. -

This is amazingly good! w00t!
This is so awesome! You wrote a poem that's both a literal meaning (the sunshine and clouds) and also the figurative sense which is life and how the sun will come. Fantastic job! You haven't written a poem in a little over a week, so it's really awesome to see another one from you. Awesome job, Aleicia.... You truly have a remarkable talent for writing figuartive poems. Keep it up!
