List Poem definition

A list poem consists of a list or inventory of things. The poem is created by a list of images or adjectives that build up to describe its subject. They are very deliberately organised and are not simply random lists of images.

Happiness calms like a mother's lullaby. Happiness is fragile like a butterfly. Happiness is the first daffodil in spring. Happiness is listening to a nightingale sing. Happiness is seeing your children succeed. Happiness is a garden without a weed. Happiness is seen in those who dance in the rain. Happiness is the perfect cure to ease your pain. Happiness is watching sunrise in vibrant hues. Happiness is a letter bringing good news. Happiness lies in the arms of the one you love. Happiness is when your hand holds theirs like a glove. Happiness is a poem which connects with your heart. Happiness is being free to express your art. Happiness is when you make someone smile. Happiness is free and always worthwhile.

I would add: happiness is having a rock solid relationship with one's Creator. But yours are all good. Hey I see this has done well for you big guy. Nothing like getting 25+ comments without the benefit of a POTD. Nice

Dear SO, I love how your poem reflects that happiness is a profound exploration of the intricacies of joy. I liked how each line was meticulously crafted. From the delicate beauty of a butterfly to the warmth of a loved one's embrace, you capture the essence of happiness in its myriad forms. SO, your poetic words evoke a sense of gratitude and appreciation for life's simple pleasures. Yes, happiness is not merely an emotion but a profound experience that enriches our souls. A Winner and an FAV! - Blessings, Daniel

'Happiness is when you make someone smile. Happiness is free and always worthwhile'. I agree, though I'm afraid many people don't do it, do they? They try to make people as miserable as they are. A poem that made me happy nonetheless, we have so much to be grateful for Good luck in the contest...Hugs

I like the 'dancing in the rain'. Funny how rain is miserable if caught in it alone, but hilarious and joyful when with a friend. So many lovely things in this poem, it has the tone of 'these are a few of my favourite things...'

It has been happiness reading your list on happiness. I feel each couplet has the strength of an adage. I love all of them, especially the concluding couplet-- "Happiness is when you make someone smile. Happiness is free and always worthwhile." Beautiful rhyming too. All the Best dear Silent One. Into my FAVE

each couplet is complete in and of itself yet flows smoothly to the next one. Your 'list' is comprehensive. Best wishes with the contest, Silent One. Have a pleasant evening, Sara
