Happiness

I don't really have a Christmas poem to post, though I originally wanted to write one specifically for MLPForums, so I figured I'd at least post one that was kind of happy. This is a short poem I wrote for an assignment in my high school creative writing class (I believe it had something to do with rhyme, but I'm not sure). It was featured at a local art event last May, and it has been published in a poetry compilation.

 

"Happiness"

 

 

 

What does it mean to be happy?

 

What does this mean to me?

 

It's a question as old as Socrates.

 

Is it to be carefree,

 

Or to see the beautiful, endless sea?

 

Do you have to be a marquis

 

Or hold the city's key?

 

Do you have to have wealth and drink exotic tea

 

Or calculate pi to the twelfth degree?

 

Nay, I say to truly be happy

 

Is just to be free.

 

 

 

What do you think?

I think it's a small start to at least get the ball rolling on discovering happiness. Which is why I won't have another big essay again on here. lol probably getting tired of those. =)  *(\

Happy Hearth's Warming to you too!  :) I know there's more to happiness than this now, but I wrote this before a lot of experiences in my life which taught me a lot about happiness. And I like to hear your opinions on things because they are very interesting, so the big essays were fine with me :)

That's sweet of you =) I guess the right words probably should have been emotional blowout. :P  It brings me a warm feeling knowing you find my thoughts or thinking interesting.
