Example
Poem
Environmentally
Friendly (Licentia Rhyme Form)
"He sprinkled
smiles to folks he met every day."
Let those words,
when he's gone, be what people say.
A tree provides some
refuge from heavy rain
his mirth provided
escape from dull disdain.
A shopping trip or a
walk was not worthwhile
if while about he'd
not make some person smile.
His own good cheer
was augmented without fail
if laughs arose from
his own invented tale.
The thoughtless
actions to which we all are prone
he overlooked, lest
perhaps they were his own.
"He sprinkled
smiles to folks he met every day."
Let those words,
when he's gone, be what people say.
A tree provides some
refuge from heavy rain;
his mirth provided
escape from dull disdain.
A brief respite from
the downpour bolsters one
with will to press
on with what they have begun.
Though laughing
won't remove underlying woes,
it unpollutes the
place where folk's upset grows.
A friendly howdy do
when it it's not required
may spread along the
day leaving some inspired.
He gives away his
smile but before he's gone,
you' notice that there's another pasted on.
"He sprinkled
smiles to folks he met every day."
Let those words,
when he's gone, be what people say,
A shopping trip or a
walk was not worthwhile
if while about he'd
not make some person smile.
A child too shy to
talk will still tell his folks
that he had fun with
that old guy telling jokes.
He's pause for
drivers anxious to push ahead
and choose a more
distant place to parking stead.
He'd open doors for
the ladies- (what a thought),
He behaved the way
the kids of old were taught.
He figured
gloominess was but state of mind
and helped all he
met just leave that state behind.
"He sprinkled
smiles to folks he met every day."
Let those words,
when he's gone, be what people say,
