Unsmiling Eyes (haiku)

Crow's feet and front teeth
Wide smile and all the right lines
But unsmiling eyes

Nice attempt. Even though it fits the 5-7-5 meter, it appears contrived to me. I personally feel that metering is not natural to English language.

[tapasya] I love it! :D Haiku seem contrived at first, imho you have to let the style grow on you.

[kd] They're my favourite lines too, and not just because there's only one more. Nobody understands art.
