Dear Stephanie, this is not of contraction or apostrophe, even if prefaced with ‘Tis your bright and tiny spark', which is a line in a stanza from 200 years ago.

If you were to read a line like, “crinkle wrinkle brittle czar”, chances are thoughts might dwell on leader, leadership broadly, leader particular to a northern nation, even hint of political style. But then too, resonance of rhythm will fetch a lyrical link.

Quote: “Rhymes for the Nursery” by sisters Jane and Ann Taylor [was] published in London, including Jane's "The Star" ("Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")...in 1806.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twinkle,_Twinkle,_Little_Star

As well as a lead of lyric, maybe the energy shown in the life of that author can encourage writers in PNG.

As you see, Stephanie, an examination and explanation by Michael is quite a celebration, far from any slight or exposé.

Sharing with you, I was surprised and delighted at Michael's generosity.

Like you, I take heed, truly.

Reason for me was (is) his crisp quip on 'contraction'.

English is my first language, so in my era of engagement, mastering apostrophes was par for the course.

Seems I have rarely thought much the word 'contraction' but ever readily 'eclipsed' a letter or two (or word) in automated movement of hand.

Review now of my comment (24/5/2020) has brought to me the word 'determiner'.

All of which is a long winded lead-up to my slip of any noun at 'many's', which may well be my very first occasion of such use (that is, not many, not any). Yet that contraction at determiner was deliberate. Noun there is none.

For writers, focus ought be on receptivity, at which I ain't done learning.

Thank you Michael Dom for your feedback. I will be careful when using inappropriate or informal words like "face's" in the future.

You're welcome Stephanie Alois. It was your good effort which earned the compliment.

One edit: second line of second last stanza, undo the contraction 'face's' (face is).

Advice: contractions like 'that's', 'it's', 'what's' etc are most useful for mimicking everyday speech. Contractions provide a sense of informality. But may or 'mayn't' always express well what 'you are' trying to say.

Often we use the full term which may be contracted and in this case it would sound much better to say, 'But my face is still smiling'.

'I'm' not sure if 'you'd' or 'I'd' actually use 'faces's' to say what our faces are up to.

I like the way you have juxtaposed the image of a smiling face with the sense of a frowning heart.

Em tasol.

Choosings and chancings, Stephanie is amidst many's relentless wonderings.
