Rubai - Four Lines Poem by Sheeya Hacks

Rubai - Four Lines

Rating: 5.0


'Oh noise of truth, why must you be so sneaky?
Playing tricks on us, making us feel so dinky.'
But the truth just smirks, with a mischievous grin,
Saying, 'Life's too serious, let the laughter begin.'

'1. Grin usually has more of a teeth-revealing quality to it, whereas smirk is more subtle.2. Grin is usually wider-spread across the face, while smirk tends to be a little more concentrated in one area.'

DINKY: Years ago I heard 'dinky' used as 'small', but see 3rd definition: 'dinky dĭng′kē adjective Of small size or consequence; insignificant. Small and insignificant; shabby or unimpressive. Pretty and neat; fashionable or well-dressed.'
