Hello, anonymous,

I like your entry for the 2-5-2 Poetry writing prompt contest. Good syllables count but connection between lines can be improved.

I totally agree with you, smiles are contagious and the spread joy.

Good luck in the contest.

A smile on someone's face begets a smile from the observer, who then is seen by another who will smile back. Yes, a smile changes everything and it is always there to use. Yours is a good presentation.

A smile will change your life in an instant. It brings warm feelings in a cold atmosphere. Or perhaps it will bring friendship to many who need to know that they are always welcomed. Be kind.

This is so good and so true! Sometimes it takes only one smile, one kind gesture, to make a world of difference in someone's life. Picture is perfect for the poem! Good job :)

This poem will be interpreted depending upon the readers' experience or perspective. For some, this could be a cautionary tale. A smile could change someone's life for the positive or the negative. This could generate a good discussion.

Can you spare one? Oh I hope so because in this world- at this time....
We need a smile in the morning... In the afternoon... In the evening...
Because your poems message was so correct...
A smile change a life....and the world.

Yes, a smile can not only turn around the receiver but also to giver. I love the happy picture as well as your up-beat and happy write. Best to you in the writing prompt contest.

Yes how true indeed and how sad that we can't, at least for the present, greet one another with a smile - a lot said in this short format - a philosophical touch to these words and a superb pic to illustrate

Great message in your 2-5-2 ! A smile costs nothing to give and it can make such a difference in someone else's life. I now vocalize with a Hi! since the mask covers my smile. Best wishes in the contest!

It's true! We never know where or when our actions will have results, but a smile seems a simple enough thing to do that can have a huge impact, maybe even save someone's life if they are really depressed.
Your poem, while simple, is truly powerful.
