Happiness and fright.

This is absolutely fabulous, I have to say. You convey so much in one sentence; it's astounding. The feeling in this poem is extraordinarily universal, and I think it's wonderful that you boiled it down to four stanzas while keeping all the meaning. The only thing that I can think to say is, with your superb use of adjectives, I find it odd that fright does not have a descriptor (most other key words have one).

The rhyme of his poem adds so much, especially paired with the rhythm of the words. The comma you've placed after morning detracts a little I think. When I read commas, I pause, and I don't think that a pause is necessary here, as it halts the flow of the words.

I want to reiterate that I ADORE this poem, and it's one of the best I've seen in a while.
Good job and keep writing!!

Wow! This is a lovely poem. I'm quite partial to short poems, and I think that you've executed this one very well. I really love the feeling that it gives, so final and aching.
If I were to have one critique, or would suggest that you change "in the night" to "at night", because it just sounds a little more streamlined.
Otherwise, great job! Thank you so much for writing.

Timmy here for a quick review!

Wellllll.... I usually leave a longer review than this one will be, but what can I critique in a poem this good? It is short... very short, and one might look at it and say that it is wayyyy too short. But after I read it a few time, I think I understand what you are saying. Correct me if I am wrong here, though.

You are run down, overcome by fright... You put on a false smile in the morning-a mask if you will-to hide what is really inside you. What you really feel.

and silent tears in the night.
