Smile It Away

Thursday Poetry Prompt: Smile

Mercury plummets and

she is hit by the cruelty of winter

night crawls up like a scorpion

no blankets to share

left to the mercy of

a warm smile

and

a small fire to help

the dying soul

Our Thursday Poetry prompt is “Smile”. Tag your piece “Thursday Poetry Prompt” and “The Cotton Thread” and the other three tags can be of your choice. You can find our latest prompts on the Thursday Poetry Prompt page. We will be looking forward to your responses.
