Someone, whom I didn’t recognise,
smiled at me today,
a smile that seemed to meet her eyes
as I passed on my way.
And even if of little depth,
a gesture which costs nowt
put a spring into my step,
there can be little doubt
in returning her ready smile
my walk became worthwhile.
Thank you very much, MC. I appreciate your comments.
This is a most pleasing example of how to put a
moment of fleeting human interaction into words.
Spot on - with its content and rhyming pattern.

I like the premise. I am encouraged to find and tidy-up a similarly-themed poem tucked away in a notebook. Thanks for the encouragement - it has been nagging at me.
