The Secret To Eternal Happiness

Everyone Smiles... ...Eventually.

Life is a hurricane of fire and wind

That we are bound and trapped within

But if you stand, with spirit grim

And face the heat, and bare your sin

The flames will melt away your skin

And forever gift you a toothy grin

Author's Note

Halloween should be the preface to ALL other holidays.

It's best to always face the heat and bare your sin....it is the truest way to cleanse one's soul and be reborn anew. It's a world of too many heat seekers stoking the fire and seducing the flames, unfortunately. That toothy grin is reminiscent of too many sweets, as well! Another interesting piece, Vagrant.

thx :)
It's a different flavor than I'm used to, but it was still fun.

Can't say why exactly but makes me think of "Face it with a Grin".
Song from the Flintstones. Sometimes we wear our pride ear to ear.
I suppose it's the illusion of happiness that we leave and are left with in the end.
I think it's probably just relief though. An end to suffering. "Neat" poem.
Rhyming makes poems more "fun", don'tcha think?

Sometimes it's called for :)
Shut up. What do you know anyway?
Now go write 4 lines that blow this out of the water, easy as if you were making pancakes.
Stupid smart lady...

;)

Seriously, though. Waiting with baited breath.

Baited breath? Is that like when you can't catch you're breath so you need to lure it? :)

Ahh a fish joke. And so, we come full circle to the beginning.

Yes, in fact. That is very very close to it.
