New reply from Susan Katz
<p>Delightful poem. I very much like the way you "personalize" smiles – giving them a personality. I particularly like the imagery in this stanza. </p>
<p>I know an independent person</p>
<p>Who beautifully expands her cheeks,</p>
<p>Like a group of fireflies</p>
<p>Permeating golden glow,</p>
<p>Wide curves along lips</p>
<p>Breath taking indeed!</p>
<p>As always, I truly appreciate you sharing your work with me. Have a beautiful day!!! – Susan</p>

<p>I know a bibliophile</p>
<p>Who slowly expands her cheeks,</p>
<p>Like a gentle waterfall</p>
<p>Calm and quiet,</p>
<p>Elegant curves along lips</p>
<p>Beautiful sight indeed!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I know a lover of history</p>
<p>Who suddenly spreads thrills,</p>
<p>Like an enchanting melody</p>
<p>Mezzo forte to forte,</p>
<p>Lovely curves along lips</p>
<p>Refreshing indeed!</p>

<p>Smiles always been</p>
<p>A moment with emotion,</p>
<p>An expressive time</p>
<p>Lasting in brief,</p>
<p>And I never knew</p>
<p>The story <em>behind</em> them even once!</p>
