Smiles

By UTTubby

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Her oblong stars were twinkling,  'round that gold-plated ring, wrapped around her wrinkled finger, till sunrise they would shine again.These little eyes surely sparkled, staring at her blistered fingers  working through that smoky haze  that hovered beyond that golden field.She was tall unlike me,but crouched like those old oak trees,with her straw hat that dripped of sweat while I drew her limping in the distance.Her weathered cane raked the crispy leavesas did her splintered rake brighten a pathwayto lead beyond another pile spreading leaves profusely with scattered smiles.
