Happiness is scattering herbs of kindness, watering weathered willows in the wilderness. Happiness is following lavender streaks of twilight~ gliding across cerulean skies, so bright. Happiness, a synonymous noun for my precious son, his lyrical laughter, mirrors the rose moon and sun. Happiness is wildflower wishes that free flow~ woven with sunflower syllables, amidst inked woe. Happiness is the dahlia sanctuary of my beloved’s heartbeat, as home is a frangipani feeling in his poetic retreat. Happiness is reminiscing magic within violet vapors, recoloring mauve meadows on watercolor wallpapers. Happiness is walking away from deceptive witches, alone, wearing cashmere cardigans with no lethal stitches. Happiness is indulging in the chocolate flavor, so sweet, when my cousin bakes hearty muffins, together we eat. Happiness soars from magnetic melodies of an electric guitar, harmonizing diamond serenades of my twin-star. Happiness is an endless emotion of peaceful purification, when soul feels warmth through internal perfection.

Happiness seems like a fun thing. I really liked the different views of happiness. Happiness is a lot of things but sadness is. You write as your name dear Ink.

IE, this is a lot of fun to read since I never know what to expect. Each little surprise is a treat...and you are making me smile with each creative line. It's also wonderful to celebrate in poetry the things that do make us feel good. That you chose this word to repeat is a gift to all of us who have the happy experience to get to this page. Some of the lines also make me stop and think. It's a little spot to stop and enjoy...like walking down 5th avenue and checking out each shop/museum.

So much happiness here and so well done from your pen.. It is always important to count our blessings.. there will not always be good days, some days will be really hard, but we make our own happiness in life.. I feel to be happy, we need to do things that feed our souls.. Instead of staying in the water, where we just drown.. This looks like a top winner to me..

Your happiness is infectious. Your words purify the inkiness of my soul through your internal perfection. I rate it up with Jane Kenyon's rendition of Happiness.
