Crescent smiles

Day 8/52

Should I start with your soft voice

the crescent smile

Oh shoot for the lovely dazzly eyes

Which are dawdled with ur ingenue

Soft a heart craved in such resplendence

Beaut that knows no beauty

Leaving me lust for your aurora

I remember a year after I wrote this piece, first day I presented it my language tutor, she laughed hard, and asked me why had to associate with the word ‘beaut’, I just smiled back, not sure if I got an answer to that on this day though.

I remember writing this piece on request by someone I was dating at the time, I wasn’t sure what to write at the time, but then, I thought about her, pictured her right there, in my eyes (hihihihi). For every word I wrote, every letter I jotted down, was a piece of her that I imagined, and I’m glad it turned out just fine. Well, how could it not with all the humor it has? 😂😂😂

With poetry, every element, every technique builds up to what your feel, what you want to say, and what you don’t want to say. Every twist of a word can raise or lower your piece. You may choose to be descriptive or narrative, sentimental or not, humorous or boring. But at the end of it all, you must contemplate and read your audience.

I chose description for this piece for I felt it compelling, and has life to it. At a point I feel poems are meant to be descriptive in nature, but that’s just one man’s view. Ouh, and the humor? by now I take it that you have that figured out, it’s a generic part of me😂

This was specially made for Joan Lady, who is so much in love with this poem every time she comes across it☺️
