I can identify with this poem so much. I am constantly enjoying the "little" things, the nature, the sites, the feelings, and I guess to me, they are big....love the poem.

very nice! A rhyming poem where every lines fits and nothing seems forced. Well done! "Burst of colors adorn the trees
Cause autumn's come to town"
My favorite line

    This one was easier because I was allowed to rhyme which is how I prefer to write poems. Thanks Carol

Hi Begin.. really like this poem. It has a nice rhyme and an even flow. The message is one we should all heed. It is just as easy to smile as it is to frown so what do we have to lose? Nothing. Well done. Good luck in the contest...blessings....chey

This poem certainly does express happiness, Carol. I especially like the reference to cocoa, one of my favorite beverages. One small correction: In stanza four, the word "lay" should be "lie," since everything else in the poem is in the present tense.
Sally

I came upon your poem again, Carol, and noticed that you have not changed "lay" to "lie." As an English teacher, I hope that you plan to do that. I like your poem so much that I want it to be perfect.

So here we are in God's world
A smile upon your face.
Happiness has found a home
Your frown has been misplaced.

Well done! there is a pleasant "ring" to the poem. To me, the rhyme and meter work quite well. What is most important, however, is the message. You give us quite a bit to be happy about!

Your poem is so wonderful in that it reminds us to be happy with God'd creation. You're right about nature making us happy. I have a big green lizard in the tree right outside my kitchen window. When i see him it makes my heart beat with happiness for being able to se such a beautiful sight. I kind of wonder if at theh end you meant to say "your frown has been REPLACED?" It sounds the same I just wondered. Good luck in thr contest.

    You are so right...I didn't even realize I had typed it that way. Guess I need a proofer..My brain says one thing and I type another.

    Thanks for the kind review. It is greatly appreciated. Carol
