Julia Robert’s Smile

Troublesome emotions unchecked

Anger deepens, rises and overflows

Where does this deepening depression lead?

Meanwhile the stars dance and twinkle

Uncaring, unsharing shards of light

A smile widens; teeth shining bright white

Happiness is a viral happening at times

Like Julia Roberts in Notting Hill

No need to swallow any bitter pill

Laughter tickles in the back of my throat

A sneeze of exquisite joy explodes

Those little drops of laughter burst out

Infecting those around me

It’s simply now a cacophony

Infectious, riotous and bold

As global laughter takes a hold.
