SMILE!!! [Quotilla]

Smile, if we don’t laugh then we would only cry.

~

It’s true, life is hell no matter how hard we try.

~

The day-to-day stress is very overwhelming.

~

Second, if we give-up our adversities will win!

~

Best to tie a knot and hold on to the eternal robe.

~

Thing is, what we do makes us who we are!

~

You may be struggling, but you have many friends.

~

Can you reach out to us, we live to love and help?

~

Do you know how to beat many of your troubles?

~

With all your dreams results in your destiny.

~

Your loved ones are always right by your side.

~

Lips and kisses will ultimately make you feel alive!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Famous Quote by an Unknown Author:

Smile, it's the second best thing you can do with your lips.

Author notes

Quotilla

Like a full word acrostic, the QUOTELLA begins with a quotation, which is reproduced in the first word of each line of the poem. The first two lines must be a rhyming couplet, as well as the final two lines. The middle stanza's length is determined by the number of words in the quotation; and these lines may, but do not have to rhyme. The lines of the poem should re-state imagistic-ally or imaginatively the essence of the original quotation.

For true masochists, there is the DOUBLE QUOTELLA, in which the words of the quotation appear as the first words of each line, reading down; and as the last words of each line, reading up.

This form was introduced to me by world acclaimed author, poet; Michael R. Collings.

      Thank you the kind comments. I believe that behind all the adversities we must face in life, there are equal or better opportunites. The first step is a smile and go on to overcome the hardships. This is what makes us more caring and compassinate people. thanks again and God Bless.

      Thank you for the sweet comments. I agree, with all the pains we face everyday, a SMILE is truly Contagious, which is a GREAT THING! I am trying this new full word acrostic called a [Quotilla]. Funny, but when my mind goes blanka well know quote provides inspiration so I decided to try this unique poetry form. Thank you for reading and commenting. I hope you don't mind but i am adding you to my favs. Actually, you were once on my favs under a new name. I left AP for awhile but could not stay away...just a new name
      Take care,
      David

      Thanks Sweetheart
      You are right, I did not enter this to win but I love to write and decided to do so to relieve some stress. For some weird reason, I seem to like the [Quotiila]
      My mind goes blank and often gets extracted...especially when I look at you
      Looking up a famous quote helps to inspire me and helps me to write as well...so why not combine this from time to time which is a full word acrostic [Quotilla]
      Yes, I'm insane and crazy...I know

      Love you,


      Your Angel
