What makes the world spin?

by ShootingStar179   Nov 12, 2006


What makes the world spin?
Is it happiness and shared kisses?
Is it everything the lonely one misses?

I love rainy days when no one is home,
So I can stare into the cascade of moisture,
It is so calm and smooth,
I wish I could fall with it,
Letting all my stress fall in a mess.

I love dancing with a friend,
Not a boy who has false pretenses,
Or a man torn in two with jealousy.

I love knowing you love me,
Even when it's new,
I love getting random calls just to say hello,
I know it's really true.

I love seeing the neighborhood filled with small lights,
Illuminating the streets white with snow,
Christmas is my favorite holiday so you know.

I love smiling to a stranger,
And when I get one back,
I think I know how the world spins,
The love and happiness within

    Isn't that feeling of smiling to a stranger and receiving a smile back just precious. No words exchanged, just a smile makes us feel special in a world where things move so quickly now a days.

    Wonderfully penned and a pleasure to read.
    Take care & Happy Holidays deary!

    Wow, different.
    It was good though, really good.
    I loved the ending, but in this one the beginning was also really good.
    I liked how you changed the stanzas, with each stanza was a tad different emotion, so it went well with the poem.
    I really liked this poem, hun.

    Very nice poem! I really liked it, it was very different. The emotion in it was different, but definatley liked. The flow was a little forced in places, but all the while pleasant to read!

    Your stanzas were lengthed randomly. I don't know why, but in the beginning your flow was a little rough, but it smoothed out. Your word choice was nice. It was very cute, but I think this should go under love, not friendship. :] 5/5
