Never heard of a Sedoka so you have introduced me to something new with this. No one could argue with the sentiment and it meets the prompt. What is not to like. Thank you.

    Mark, Thank you for your review. I appreciate it. That is one thing I like about Fanstory,I get to learn new things and different ways of writing. That was my first time writing a Sedoka poem.

It's a fir assumption you made all of FS smile with your words and the accompanying photo. A very good sedoka. I hope many will not just read this, but take your words to heart.

This is a well-crafted poem. A smile is very important to have. Each line of your poem connects well with the next. Your 5-7-7 syllable count is in good order for this writing prompt. Nice complimentary picture too. Good job.

Aww! Very sweet! A warm smile can really change someone's mood. I have a few suggestions if I may. For example

Smile! It's contagious.
Just go and pass it around.
Perhaps you will get one back.
If you have a smile,
Just go ahead and share it,
You just might make someone's day!

The added punctuation helps the reader know how to read it. The internal rhyme of perhAps and bAck has a nice sound to it. Making the second to last line a call to action makes the reader want to smile as he reads. :)

Such a charming little poem! I really enjoyed it! Best of luck in the contest!

I just love the picture you joined to this poem. The piece itself was light-headed and fun. It bounced along to it's funny beat taking me along for the ride.

Yes, I couldn't agree more. If you smile a lot you're also most likely being smiled back at. A smile doesn't cost anything and it most likely makes you feel happy but the recipient as well. Ulla:)))

Your sedoka was nice, and you got the syllable count right. If anything, I might add some kind of punctuation on that first line. A dash after "smile" would help, for example. Of course, it's your poem and you can feel free to ignore me. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

A smile will last for miles. A smile will penetrate someone's heart. It will make a person feel better so they can have a better day! Love the smiles in the image.
