You Make Me Smile
July 7, 2012
That plump face with podgy cheeks
That small mouth that gurgles with delight
When I speak.
That tiny hand which grasps mine
The other holds your favourite toy
Which when taken from, you don't whine.
That mouth makes all the noise
Chirps, gurgles and screams
And fills people with joy.
That bundle of love
So small, so sweet
Always smiling
And eating your feet
You don't know it
You're too young
But you make me smile
Tiny little one.

Thanks for your comment again! :) Yes, I know I mentioned 'mouth' quite a lot but go easy! This is my first time at poetry! :)
You used good imagery. I liked how obvious it was that you were talking about a baby, even though you never said the word once. You did seem to talk about mouths on multiple stanzas, though.
Would you take a look at my poem in the forums under "Any Advice?" Thanks!
