Emily Conant Poet Free verse

I Was Happy

My eyes jumped open in eagerness.
My lips sprung apart in awe.
My mouth extended from cheek to cheek.
It was like the letter “U” was slapped onto my face.
My cheeks bunched up because of my wide grin.
My stomach tingled with excitement.
My eyebrows shot up to my forehead.
My hair stood on end from the exhilaration.
I felt as if I could walk on air because of the adrenaline.
I have never felt like this before.
My face burst with joy.
I could hardly stand still.
My body filled with delight.
I felt fortunate, lucky and favorable.
It was like I was the sunshine on a stormy day.
I was happy.
