Time for a Smile!

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry

I thought some ‘silly and fun’ would be in order after my last post. So, I pulled this oldie from my book, New Day, New Dreams. Wow, 2013 seems like 100 years ago!

Anyway, enjoy some Scrabble Soup!

First you need a thought,
nothing fancy
and it can’t be bought,
then add a spoonful of emotion.
There’s no magical potion,
although, I have a notion
you could include humor.
According to rumor,
laughter’s the best medicine.
It always has been.
Yet, contrary to giggles,
start some tears flowing
with a dash of melancholy,
or if you’d rather be jolly,
Don’t be coy,
Sprinkle in joy.
Now to spice up your mixture
(I think you get the picture)
toss in melody
with your favored tempo
and let your feet dance.
Feel the rhythm and
give romance a chance.
This is where you improvise
(write between the lines).
Follow your feelings.
Close your eyes,
peel off your disguise.
This is your recipe.
This is your vision.
Follow your bliss
and for a final touch,
Seal it with a kiss!

    1. I’m glad you liked this poem, Robbie. It’s fun to bring back some oldies now and then. Thank you! My last post was a bit morbid, out of my norm, so I thought this would be good to follow. 🙂 ❤️

    A great recipe for any time Lauren. Humor, giggles, joy, bliss and even a touch of melancholy; hard to beat. Thanks for the smile.

  21. I love this, Lauren! So true, too! Where would we be as authors/poets without a sense of process? With all the emotions that we infuse into our story/message, it is so important that we feel the very emotional response that we wish to convey. I quite often hear the bell ring while scrubbing the day’s dishes in the kitchen. I drop the plates with a splash and run to get a pen and notepad in hand to jot down the juice of the matter! Good thing I live alone, I guess! When that light comes on, do you think I bring the notepad and pen into the kitchen? No, of course not…you know the rest!

    1. I’m so glad you liked this silly poem, Don. It’s an oldie, for sure. But you’re right about the process, and I really should remember to keep a pen and notepad handy, too. Thanks for sharing your story, too!
