All it took was a welcoming smile
All I need is to be able to see
All I ask is to live in paradise
All I do is ignore the news
All I wish for is to write
At last I am able to write
At least I am now free
At length I will check the news
At once I begin to smile
At night I look out on paradise
At all the beauty I see
As I look in awe at all I see
As amazed as I am at all I write
As I believe I have arrived in paradise
As all around people are free
As they all happily smile
As one at the news
An image of the news
An idea that we can see
An overwhelming smile
An inspiration to write
An urge to remain forever free
An island simply called paradise
Are our values in paradise?
Are all of these issues news?
Are we each of us wishing we were free?
Are we able to clearly see?
Are any of us ready to write?
Are these questions enough to bring a smile?
Any thoughts on radiating a smile
Any views on seeking paradise
Any words suitable to write
Any plaudits for the news
Any visions that I see
Any little thing that will set us free
All of us can be free, at the sight of a smile
As each of us can see an image of paradise
Are these things news, any chapters to write?

Post a CommentGreat poem,thanks John Smither
Great poem my friend! The two main things that we need to be able to write are inspiration and persiration. If we have both of them, most times we can write something. Great work! Johnny Yuma
Ah, questions, questions... Maybe expressing questions in such a lyrical manner is part of an answer... :)
Whether all this beauty and a welcoming smile is "news" can be debated. But is it something to write about? You bet'cha! Keep on bringing us this wonderful kind of news, John!
