Hi Brooke,
A delightful poem about a delightful smile.
I believe it's a fact we require less facial muscles to smile, then for frowning. Must be a message in that?

This is a beautiful pic. Love the theme of the smile being so bright, the sun does not need to shine. Your use of words evokes happiness in the reader.

A half smile from a child bring about a full teeth smile for ones who love him. What a beautiful poem that goes so very well with little Sawyer's smile. It certainly made me smile. Thanks for sharing.

Very cute little poem, Brooke, well crafted (as usual) and fun to read. This is another fine poem that should be, and maybe will be, if it isn't already, included in a book of poem for children. Craig.

A perfect picture added to a perfect poem. Your poem had great flow, and is excellent especially when read out loud. The theme is one we should all take to heart, everyone rather be around happy people.

Brooke, this poem is so delightful, I am sitting here smiling like a loon. You find the most wonderful way to say things, you never leave me without a smile on my face. Again Sawyer has proven to be the perfect model for your most wonderful poetry. Please never stop, never slow down, just keep 'em coming my dear.

So if you have a half a smile,
just grow that smile to see
what happens when you use both halves
and set your whole smile free.

your quatrains are lovely, Brooke -
always you come up with something different to
write about - such a marvelous imagination.

most enjoyable, my friend.

Hi Brooke. This poem should appeal to all readers as its message "to smile" comes through so clearly.
Good characterization of Ezekiel with a name that makes one smile just saying it.
Good use of hyperbole in describing what would happen if Ezekiel used both halves of his smile.
Excellent use of the traditional ballad stanza to tell your tale. As always,your meter and rhymes are flawless. Rod

This is a sweet and whimsical poem, and I love the imagery in it. I especially like the idea of using both halves of your smile and setting your smile free. :)
