We said. You used only a few words but conveyed a great message. A smile really can make someones day. Your poem actually makes sense which is more than can be said for a lot of these very short ones.

Hi, This has met the brief with its sharp impact. I like the use of capitals to make your point and the picture is a perfect illustration of the poem.

With best wishes, Writeling

    Hi Writeling. Many thanks for having a read of my 7 words and a smile does make a difference . I am pleased you like my capitals I though they would highlight the two most important words. Cheers and a smile back to you

In seven words you have surfaced an adage that is so true. We all thrive on encouragement and a smile can mean a lot especially to the weak and downtrodden.

The image fits the intent of the poem. Well done.

What great advice in such a small piece.
In seven words you have given the world a smile and the picture you chose really adds to the smile.
It is free and really makes someones day.

These tiny poems continue to amaze me with
their diversity and communication of wisdom.
This is no exception. Yes, a smile takes quite a
few muscles to get across, but it's fun and it's
free. Yet, something this simple can change lives.
Think of the person depressed, and wandering the
streets. A stranger inadvertently smiles, says good
morning. Who knows what that act of kindness
might produce? I wish you well with your wisdom.
