Poetic Blueprint

This blog is about all things poetry. I will post my own poetry and write articles about ways for people to write, edit and publish their own poetry. There will be interviews also with poets. There will be poetry tips and words of encouragement also.

Smiling Still

Poem by Dana Young

Smiling Still
On my journey home from work
In pain but still I find joy in the little things
The brightness of the street lights,
The uniformity of the cars moving in single file
Like children exiting a classroom,
The smell of the dark, still air as it teasingly caresses my smiling face.
I’m smiling because there is pain in life but more reasons to smile even in the little things
