Smiling Quieter"Smiling quieter"
This was her loud smile,
her proud smile.
If smiling made a sound
then I would hear a jet engine's roar,
and an announcer's countdown,
man setting foot
where no man has before.
I'd know that is her
For that would be her proud smile,
her loud smile,
her bright eyes,
sharp jawline.
My darling, my dear.
I would hear shuffling feet,
hear people make a beeline
around an lively beat,
and I would hear applause.
Of course
it's her, after all,
my darling, my dear.
A star.
So why is she
not smiling still?
Her face a pavement
damp from rain,
her eyes light red from tears?
Why won't you give me

Release the Doodle Previously in the story: Sumi (pronounced sue-me) the fire wolf/human has been caught stealing precious jewelry from the tyrant Chagadar Oozefang's secret stash. The scruffy otter, outraged, has sentenced the poor wolf-boy to a series of cruel and unusual punishments, the first being able to enter and exit a winding maze deep within the Kingdom of Dark Art. Sumi escapes, wounded with a broken leg and a black eye, only to find himself in a crowded arena, animals and humans cheering and yelling for blood. In the press box rests Oozefang, eyes blazing. The juvenile delinquent sullenly awaits his next punishment.
Sumi rested a paw on his black eye, hoping the warmth of his fiery palms will help the injury heal faster. Instead, he pulls it back with a sharp yelp of pain. The heat of his fire was too much, and he could feel a small welt growing on the side of his already hurt face.
Chagadar Oozefang sniggered, his voice echoing throughout the arena.
