Smile

You tried to catch my smile,
as if it were attainable,
and then ripple it through the sky
because it glittered…

You noted the sun never laughs
as much as we do.
Not even when the birds squabble
over the lushness of the leaves.

I said you should sit on the moon
and entertain the sun.
She’d be rolling around the horizon
in hysterics.  

Because it’s you my ivory feather,
who makes me smile.

    You know, I'm actually thankful that I was hovering around the rewarding section today. I'm pretty much falling in love with your style it's something I envy actually. The way you catch your metaphors so gracefully and pen them onto paper as if it's the easiest thing on earth...

    the image of a smile rippling through the sky is so unique that I actually wish I came up with it

    Truly, a beauty this is.

    I think there are great collocations here, "rolling round the horizon" "ripple it through...". However, I think they are sometimes obscured by too common expressions as bird twitter. In all, a veryu nice piece to read out to your finace...

    wow

    I think that its a beautiful poem. I love it. My favorite part is when you say:
    I said you should sit on the moon
    and entertain the sun.
    She’d be rolling around the horizon
    in hysterics.
    For once a love peom that doesn't end sadly....
    I hope you and your fiance have a good life together
