Happy

Posted byauthorstewPosted inpoetryTags:, , , 
The pursuit of Happyness lays in Happy Accidents
Tripped up memories 
Stumbling on happiness like a drunk at the party
The Happy Prince, the curious clown,
More happy than not,
By choice, if not circumstance

Happiness is a choice
Choosing you over me
You are my happiness 
With every smile 
We are Happy together

Let me find happiness in the joy of another
Be it friend or lover
My happy is yours
The gift of a frown turned upside down
Are all the Happy Days I need

This is or a dVerse prompt – “For today’s Poetics, we will try to make this Tuesday a happy Tuesday. I am sharing titles of some books. You can incorporate one or as many as you like in your poem.

1.The pursuit of Happyness by Chris Gardener

  1. Happy Accidents: A memoir by Jane Lynch
  2. The ministry of utmost happiness by Arundhati Roy
  3. Stumbling on happiness by Daniel Todd Gilbert
  4. The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde
  5. The art of happiness by the Dalai Lama
  6. More happy than not by Adam Silvera
  7. Happiness is a choice by Neil Kaufman

If the above titles don’t inspire you, you can simply write us a happy poem. The idea is to smile as you write and put a smile on the face of the person reading your poem.” I hope you enjoy and smile. 😊

  4. I like the way you used the titles and added some of your own, Stew, including one of my favourite old songs, ‘Happy Together’. I also like the thought of ‘stumbling on happiness like a drunk at the party’. Your poem made me smile.
