TO WRITE A HAPPY POEM

TO WRITE A HAPPY POEM
Marc Mosko, 1996

I will write a happy poem tonight.
A poem of joy, a poem of delight,
Filled with all the many things,
The things that happiness brings.

A happy poem should be fast in time,
Lightly wrote, strong in rhyme.
I'll speak of love and gay events,
strewn flowers, no regrets.

In a longer meter, to slow it down,
I will tell of future joy, love well met,
I will tell of longings found,
Children, wives, even pets.

No where else may you find such insight,
Attention paid to every kiss,
Every smile, rapture and bliss.
Such a poem I'll write tonight.

Or so I wish.
