They told me you were hard to puzzle out,
a riddle wrapped in a conundrum.
Like an onion, I would have to peel back the layers
to find what you really were beneath.
In reality,
your smile was so open,
I walked in uninvited.

I like this puzzle that isn’t a puzzle! What a smile.
I like this a lot… also a person who you have to peel like an onion would lead to tears.
Most likely.
What a way of putting it, lol!
Beautiful!
Nice idea and good observation about the power of smiles.
Thank you Frank.
This works well for this prompt! I think we all have layers that need pealing back and sometime bring tears in the process!
Indeed. Sometimes the right person can find their way in without any effort however.
That is true!
Lovely!
Thank you Jo.
When people get labeled as one thing or another, we often don’t bother to check the actual contents. I love this poem.
Thank you Maggie. I wanted to write something lighthearted and a bit more upbeat.
Ah…the romantic heart.
Indeed.
Soooo romantic! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you very much.
LOVE it! Especially the end. 🙂 Smiling I am.
Haha, glad I could make you smile Lillian.
I love this!
Thank you very much, I’m glad. 🙂
I like the “riddle wrapped in a conundrum.”
I couldn’t remember the actually saying so I made one up.
there are many perception of different people towards the same person. it depends from eye to eye 🙂
Love it!
