Smile !!

  dVerse Poets pub  and Quadrille Monday ~ De is hosting, the magic word for today is "SMILE'"

2016 Montecatini Italy

At eighty-four 

I wink at mirrors

pockets stuffed with mischief

memories and improbable alibis

SMILE YOU'RE ON CANDID CAMERA

if walls talked they'd blush

if diaries escaped they'd jog

I've lived loudly 

laughed harder

and edited strategically

leaving crumbs, winks

and harmless scandal behind
