Sonnet: (In Trochaic Pentameter) On Smiling Poem by Dr John Celes

Smile a lot in life for life is short, so
Always keep a smiling face in earthly
Life, for treacherous can become all things you
Try to do in stealth, overtly truly.

Smiling adds a vigour tempting people
Do all things without a stress or strain as
Span of life gets lengthened like a steeple
Looking sprightly, 'midst all buildings too crass.

Let not smiles be infectious, alluring;
Let your smile be timely born and worn or
Else, it fails to do the things enchanting
And subverting body cues and favor.

Smile as long as face sans wrinkles stays and
Brain allows the skill to wear the smile-wand.
