Simple Happiness

Me, if I don’t see a cornfield in the morning, I am unhappy, Me, if I don’t see a deer in a field, in the morning, I am unhappy, If I don’t dream about an hippopotamus in his lake in Kenya, I am unhappy twice, Me, if I don’t cross an oak and birches forest, In the morning, I am unhappy, If I don’t think of a witch on her broom, If I don’t see a wild flower, a poppy, I am unhappy, If I don’t talk to plants or animals, I’m unhappy for the day, But what makes me most unhappy is to drink My coffee, without you, you my panther, chatting like a Chocolate bar, cruel as a well, What do you want, I need other company, I need to see a cornfield in the morning, To be happy. Or to see peaceful deer Go through my thoughts.

Hey Yann my simple pleasures don't include cornfields or hippos, but I think we all can relate

Yes intresting but the human aspect of needing someone is what makes it worth it.

this is sure an interesting poem. Just be happy for things and not unhappy. I really do like the idea though of needing to have someone by your side or you'll be unhappy.
