You make me smile

I'm loving this mirror series.
This entry is so uplifting and a perfect mirror to the poem by APPS.
Many times we wallow in darkness.  You, APPS, myself.
But this is a happy testament to the good nature a smile will bring.
Hats off to you Kx and APPS for the original.
This is a two scoops Hot Fudge Sundae with whipped cream and a cherry on top.

AWESOME PHOTO.  SHE LIGHTS UP THE ROOM !

BIG SWEET LIKE

RL AWARD

I am so happy you love it. I hope everyone will find some value in it. :)
It felt like a good time to post something uplifting that hopefully will get some smiles.
Hey now, I wouldn't say wallow. :p You can part in the darkness too so let's go with that.
Smiles, like a kiss, always bring good feelings and make people feel good, right?
Thanks so much for reading this one and the one that inspired it too.
Have not had a hot fudge sundae in forever so I will take that, no cherry though. ;p

Yeah I thought that really embodies what I was trying to capture.

Getting all SWEET on me now huh? ;) Love it.

Such lovely sentiments... You are awesome, dear beautiful poetess 🥀

It's so wonderful to have you back, you were missed and I look forward to all the incredible beauty you have to share. I am really happy you found the sentiments lovely and thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts with me. You know I think you are awesome too and deserve all the best; and that's definitely what I am wishing for you. ;)

A smile goes a long way and can even save a wounded soul

Oh yes! the power of a smile and all the incredible feelings and mysteries it can hold. It can truly save a wounded soul and conquer it too. :p I hope you smiled at all the girls today Tim giving them a little thrill with your presence. I bet you did, didn't you? :p

Your work (ALL of it) can always be relied on for its strengths…Your poems and stories are diverse and seem to mirror what you see and sense so articulately!  The pieces translate into what others will understand in novel ways. The regular use of concrete words (so often linked to metaphors and images in your free verse) along with your phrasing, helps readers “feel” and understand your message… AND THEMSELVES.

That's such an incredible compliment Ted. I am really happy you see strengths in my writing and that you like variety since I tend to do a lot of different stuff. ;) Memories and experiences are definitely what drives my writing and those can be anything including reading another poem. I love that you feel they translate into what others will understand in novel ways, that really makes me feel good. I think often my writing may be kind of strange and not easy to understand; at least on some different levels regarding the multiple meanings but some things I avoid writing about in a more direct way. But I love it when the reader feels something and is pulled in with me. Thanks so much for the incredible comment. I really love what you said.

The X,

    Kristina u alright. Sounds fully like u are encouraging someone out of their sadness. Though this is a different thing, that quality of writing imagination is their! Because a smile is worth eyesights healthy of walking running and daytime living until ah death. And......many is a must that just do it for me. Radiant work! 🤍👅🌷🍑🤎💋👄🎶👁️👁️🌈🍑🌷👍🤜🤛🍜🥂🍹🥂🍹🥂🍹

Hey Brichel! I always smile when I see you. ;) Because you are more than alright in my book. I like what you read into this, what better than a smile to lift someone out of their sadness. Writing the imagination can be magical. A smile is one of the most beautiful things to share and see, it's universal and anywhere or anytime it makes people feel good. And you too! I love radiant. I am actually feeling kind of down today so thanks for making me smile. :)

WELCOME! U always are! 👍🌈💋👅🍑🌷🤜🤛💎🎶👁️🛳️🥂🥂🥂🥂🍹🍹🥂

A smile can tell everything about a person. But also a smile can hide many things.  Beautiful piece.  


Every smile means so much.  
But that one special smile...  
It embodies them all.  
It embodies you.  

That is my favorite part. 💜💜💜

Hey eyes... So true, it really can tell you so much. You know when a smile is genuine and actually I am absolutely terrible at faking a smile. :p But oh yes, a smile can definitely hide so much too. Including past trauma, pain and suffering. But knowing that someone can still make you smile, feeling that I think makes the smile even more impactful. I am really happy you found it beautiful. Those last lines definitely form the overall sentiment of how someone can truly make us feel special, beautiful, and loved. That could be a lover, family, friend, or even in some ways a boss or colleague. Thank you so much for reading me and sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate your lovely comment.

Hello Kristina. I really love this.
“My smile hides so much
But it shows even more”
Pure perfection :)

PS. I love smiles that show quirkiness. Well done!

Hi Mary, I am really happy that you loved it.... Oh yes! you know what I am talking about. So many emotions, feelings, and even secrets can make up a smile. 'Pure perfection' just like your smile. And you make me smile too. ;)  

Totally agree, and I am quirky as hell. lol Quirky and kinky is a great combination, right? :p  

Thanks so much for coming by to share your smile and thoughts. I can always feel your passion for life in your words.

This is very cool of you to take on this idea.  It's admirable and also noble in a way.  
-Who doesn't appreciate some acknowledgement such as this.  
And really, the spotlight shines on you, because of these efforts.  

How awesome you are doing!  And the poem is well done, Scooby.  Bravo.

Yes, the idea was always about showing appreciation for and getting visibility for others. There is so much incredible writing here and often some things will fly under the radar too. My only concern was I can only post, or even write, so much so it's going to take time to do everything I would like to with this. Still you know I am one to take chances with stuff and I liked the idea so it is what it is. I really hope people will like it too and if they do then I am happy.

Thanks, your encouragement really does mean so much to me. I am glad you found it well done, just trying to spread some cheer and smiles. I know upbeat isn't necessarily a category I hit very often. And you know I love being called Scooby. lol That's great... ;)

A smile is contagious it spreads quickly
Great piece
Love and light
Ron xx

That's so true... Spreading that beauty and joy is the best thing. I have always been told I project my emotions VERY strongly. So if I am upset or sad it can affect everyone around me very quickly, but if I am happy and smiling it can do the same. And if I am well.... * nevermind, innocent look * lol that definitely has an affect on people too. lol I love sharing a smile with you like you share so many through your love and light. Thanks so much for being you, I hope you know how appreciated you are. :)

Hey Kristina:)

This is brilliant. I'm a smiler. Can't help it. Even when I'm nervous
it slowly appears. I always try to be the happy one even when life beats you down.
So I totally appreciate the line "My smile hides so much."

And love your idea of the mirror series!!!!
Keep sending positive karma and it will come back
tenfold amiga. Especially when you least expect it:)

Yeah girl! I have talked about your incredible smile before. ;) You have such a wonderful uplifting personality that makes people feel good. (In case you didn't know). It's so lovely that you can smile even when life beats you down and share that with people. My smile is complicated. ugh! I guess like every other part of me. It can definitely raise spirits a lot but... it doesn't always come easy. :p I can be quite intense... (I know that's probably a surprise, right?) A smile can be so soothing in some situations and when there is a lot of pain and suffering behind your smile sometimes it can shine so much brighter if that makes sense. That feeling which brought it on can be far more intensely felt. Anyway, your presence brings on smiles. ;)

I really appreciate you letting me know your thoughts on the series. That really helps. :)
I love positive karma, I can always use that. :p tenfold, damn! that's a good return. :p
And I love surprises...

continue to smile

Hey James, I truly adore the sentiment and I hope you are smiling because I bet you have a great one. ;) Thanks so much for stopping by to see me and sharing your thoughts. Make sure to show off that lovely smile all day. ;)

You should be smiling like the woman in the picture.  I believe in your smile.  Keep on writing my sexy woman.

That is definitely the kind of smile that lights up the room. ;) I love that you believe in my smile and I believe in yours too. Thanks for the encouragement and always making me smile. I really appreciate it so much. You are great! ;)

The gift that keeps on giving, that's so sweet.
It felt like a good time for something upbeat and inspiring. ;) See I can do that damnit! lol Yes, the ones from APPS is great so deserves the real credit.

That's so true it can make somebody's day, sticking in the mind and just making them feel good. Of course smiles are addictive too. And contagious. Smiles also lead to kisses. ;) I always loved the kiss the cheek gesture in parts of Europe. I found that very affectionate and sweet.

I really appreciate the feedback on the idea so much. You definitely get what I was going for with this. I love the receptiveness and understanding, I really appreciate it.

Very cute is definitely what I was going for... Something that would make people smile. Not complicated like so much of my writing can be. I am actually very romantic even if perhaps that does not always show through as easily sometimes. The little gestures mean so much... a smile, a kiss, a touch. I love them all and so much more... Thanks again for your wonderful comment, you are a star.  

Anytime I see you’ve posted something it makes me smile. I know it will be worth the read and this short piece is sure to lift a gloomy day away. I truly have an appreciation of your ability to move from different subject matter seamlessly.
Thank you for always giving reasons to smile.

Keith

Well you really made me smile Keith. That is such a lovely comment, I have actually been pretty emotional today and that's not a good thing so I definitely needed the smile. I love when I can make people smile. Being somewhat of a tortured soul that varies. I can really make people smile and feel a lot of passion but the flip side can be equally as intense so I guess everything finds a balance somehow. With things with my Mom and everything it's just hard right now. 'your ability to move from different subject matter seamlessly' I adore that, thank you. Keep smiling. I know it's beautiful when you do.

Thank you (He bows).

Aww, the bow is an awesome touch. You are so welcome Billy. I hope you smiled along with that bow... Such a proper gentleman, I bet you are chivalrous then which is endearing. Chivalry definitely brings out the wild behind closed doors (and out and about too). lol

Yeah, I like to stay indoors & go out & about sometimes. I dream of 6 months 'out on the road' sometimes, doing what the hell I please! Maybe one day, huh? I just basically liked your write. I thought it was well written but also 'encouraging' somehow.

Six months getting lost in some crazy off the beaten path place doing whatever the hell sounds good to me. ;) It's something to look forward to. I am glad you liked it and felt it was encouraging. That's what I wanted so thanks for telling me. :)

Imagine having a smile like hers?
Worth every penny for those 35 black roses
What an amazing accomplishment 👏

Well that's definitely one heck of a beautiful smile. ;)
35 black roses, oh boy that definitely tugs at the heart strings.
I love black roses.
Amazing compliments are so lovely. :p

Thanks so much for stopping by to deliver the black roses and share your thoughts. I really love that. ;)

The words whether read selectively or entirely have a natural undisturbed flow and rhythm.

The bold text on its own has the encouraging upbeat feel.

The happy mood is too overwhelming to ignore even passing on best wishes to all for the past weekend.

You wouldn't blame someone for thinking that maybe this account had been hacked.

This is a change that looks like it's promising to bring beckoning greatness.

I love that you could follow my rhythm and flow so well.

I tried to make the bold meaningful on it's own and to give emphasis. Albeit I am very impatient at formatting so I do it in like 30 seconds. lol

Overwhelming happy mood, that's definitely what I wanted to pass on. That you could feel it definitely makes me smile. Thank you! ;)

Ugh! I would like to prove you wrong but I looked and doing the math in my head upbeat inspirational is about 4% of my posted ones so I guess you have a point in regards to this type. lol Still there are 8 others for you to read damnit! :p But there are other ways to share happiness and I have done much more on those. ;) Love and Erotic and such...

Really happy you like this one and 'promising to bring beckoning greatness' is a really wonderful thing to say. Hopefully I can bring more smiles in the future. I would love that. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate it so much Laluma.

Lovely write Kristina. Yes, a lover's smile does say so much, especially when they are in sync with eachother's emotions. It's a higher level of understanding, spiritual to a point where you are bonding in both, mind and spirit.
Wonderful write.

I am really happy you found it lovely and you always make me smile Wally. A lover's smile always seems in sync doesn't. When one person's smile shines the other just has to follow. It's impossible not too in my mind. Well in some instances that may not be the case but that's not what I am focusing on here. I am focusing on that higher level of understanding and as you say spiritual experience. Connecting in mind, body, and spirit. Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing with me. I really appreciate it so much. ;)

Ah yes..:) That special smile from that special person can do so much magic in so many ways

Definitely, that smile that just penetrates into the soul and makes you tingle from head to toe. Every smile is beautiful and meaningful but that special smile is something else. It's truly magical and makes you weak at the knees. It brightens the entire room and just makes everything better. And so often leads to sex. lol Thanks so much for making me smile. ;)
