Poetry: A wink

I look in the mirror to see just a reflection of me. A plain 40's woman, nothing special

see. Walking out the door, I see my make-ups a mess, but who cares, who could I impress?

I go to the store, the woman sneer at my looks, they don't take the time see my hearts quiet

brooks. I smile regardless of their shallow thoughts, I know they, too, have had these

feelings fought. As I go on with my mundane day, enter the elevator, with a man in gray.

He speaks to me cordially, kindly and then, he looks into my eyes and gives me a grin. The

doors open wide, he looks in my eyes, and smiles at me genuinely and gives me a wink.

    With a twinkle

    And a devilish smile

    She winked back

    With stars in her eyes

    They knew it was fate

    For one wink

    I wanted to scream "look at me!"
    But I was shy, and so was he.
    I thought he hadn't seen my smile,
    But yes, he'd noticed,

    She stands up to give her speech
    Hundreds of eyes, her audience
    All she wants to do is to hide away
    But this needs to be said,
