Smiles,

The joy of the world,

Make me happy while,

Life gets unfurled,

 

Grins,

What to do if not laugh,

It's true good always wins,

Wonderful people, alas...

A sarcastic Speaker maybe? Jealous? Or maybe just 'wiser' with cynicism, kind of a "alas, if only they knew it wasn't that simple..." kind of thing?

 

Either way, a neat poem. Short and sweet - thanks for sharing.

Or perhaps the wonderful people are not on the "good" side. There are always good people on both sides of any conflict, if you can find them...

 

Or, perhaps, alas was chosen because it seemed to fit better than anything else and was at least an imperfect rhyme for laugh. It has been known to happen. :)

 

But either way, it is a good poem... An interesting twist at the end, as was already said... Whatever the purpose of the Alas, at least it makes people think!

Well, I thought of yet another possibility. The poem brings to mind an old wise man who is whispering these words, and the Alas is almost like a ....finally...*smile slowly grows across his lips*

 

That make sense or am I too close to the cat nip again?

 

Thanks for sharing, I loved it. Short, Sweet and perfect. :0)
