Super Smile: a personification poem about smiling. Smiling really is a super power.

Super Smile

Hello, my name is Super-Smile
My superpower’s To Beguile
above your chin, below your nose
my superpower spreads its pose

I cannot fly, I have no cape
but I’m unique in force and shape
I’m not a laugh, I’m not a grin
but love and friends, I find and win

I’m Super-Smile but sometimes hide
those feelings that are trapped inside
But you will know I’m just disguise
when twinkles don’t ignite your eyes

But usually when my corners seek
to upwards climb into each cheek
I’m there because you can’t contain
the joy the neurons sent your brain

💡My poem about smiling uses personification to compare the power of a smile to a super power. Make a list of all the things your smile has the power to achieve. Imagine your smile is a superhero and write a poem about smiling and all the magic things it does ... things that we sometimes take for granted.
