Why do you grin
in pain with crack-
led lips
when friends are near?
Why do you smile
at sun
when miles remain
before
you reach a goal?
Why don’t you frown
at crossroads missed?
Cause, grins,
are lubri-
cants, contagious joy,
They are life itself.
I felt I had to rehabilitate the grin. Join us with Quadrilles (44 words exactly) at dVerse. You just have to grin today.

This made me smile ^_^
This is hilarious.
I am grinning back, smiles ~
I’m grinning. I’m also dealing with chapped lips. Not fair.
No groans from me…smiles.
We should all find much to smile about. Wonder if Cheshire cat ever got chapped lips?!
Love the ‘songs’ that come in this hyphen genius:
“cants, contagious joy”
Life is so much better when we grin about missed cross-roads – because it’s those missed turns that lead to adventure!
… and the grin right back to where it belongs.
I am all grins! That picture is grin!
I like theCheshire cat! And also the contagious joy. 🙂
