Happy Is As Happy Does

[frank]

Oh heavenly day, when I saw
The misery of my human flaw.

I then & there did vow
Happy to be 'till now.

I read a brilliant work
Well done, without a shirk.

Saw a remark or two or three
Of someone whose senses did flee.

Not a word, not a rhyme
Sarcasm only and not in time.

Badly worded badly spoken
Still holds himself as token

Of what should & should not be
But offers not a line for me.

Happy is as happy does
But here, only woes.

Lift my heart & soul
Inspire my pen to unfold

A tale of a happy deed
I'll be glad to fill your need.

But continue with this pointless drivel
Your contribution will only shrivel.

Happy is as happy does.

The inspiration for this little ditty came by way of one who is best left unnamed. The primary request, however, was for a "happy poem." To the extent that this does not satisfy the gentleman making the request, I would and do direct him and invite him to read "A Song For Seraphim." That is as happy a poem as can be found, dealing as it does, with love, and kindness, and caring, and gentleness, and sharing, and young hearts singing, and all of the true delights of young minds. It also pays a tribute to some very special people.

I cannot think of a happier tribute to pay to any group of friends as those here at ACF, and to those who invited me and introduced me all around.

Read it, good sir, then tell the
Forum that happy poems are forgotten.

Attacking someone and trying to act civil is not exactly eloquent Frank. Next time just say my name like a person with an actual problem with me would do. That fact that you did this was childish at best. I just asked why havent I seen any happy poems in awhile. I had not yet read "song for seraphim" so i will read it now and give my opinion. Plus if i gave my actual opinion on things it would hurt people. Though I may be very friendly in real life. If an opinion is to be gave it should be gave without predjudice. Now i understand if you dont want something critized, but thats the reason you post it on here. If you keep getting replies like. "omg great", "simply amazing", when although it may be good it could have been better does not benefit the writer. The fact i haven't seen a posi poem in a while was just an observation i made. I made that quote with the fact pretty much most poems i see here are pessimistic.
