Best Cheerier Poems

It's the first day of the rest of my life
I'm feeling reborn
Filled with great anticipation
Wondering what exciting things
Lie just ahead
It seems it's all up to us
We're the ones steering the ship
If things don't turn out bright and cheery
We only have ourselves to blame
However I am...

Our little stream flows
but a trickle most days
but rises, runs, today --
all busy energy.
Its perky
change of pace
does not match 
my current cast of face.
Still, this steady
slow drizzle
has its damp uses --
laving dusty leaves
to clean and shiny green.
I am not thankful
for gray skies --
they bring no...

Visions swim in my mind that I wish I could not see.  I fear to drown in the rush of their rapids, lapping at my face. Each tear I cry leaves a trace of tragedy that cannot be erased, nor regrets that threaten to...

Death of a Brother
Written: by Tom Wright
March 2015

His sun slipped below the horizon,
Leaving naught but an achromatic sky,

As thoughts submerged in time before, 
Once abeyant, now dance;

The voice of one since passed,
Drums my ears like Sage Hens at sunset;

While I press to remember cheerier times,
Of...

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good 
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood 
 
I work up today, with a dark cloud hanging low over my head 
No smile in sight  
No Good Morning (in sweet tone) 
No Beaming spirit to...

Mixed Marriage
By Rick Rucker

The sky seems somewhat bluer now,
The birds seem a little cheerier, somehow,

The grass looks a darker green, 
More so than I have ever seen,

My disposition seems to be more pacific,
As to why, I cannot be specific,

I have thought about it, of late,
It...

Shove the lights up and reach high,
Forget about the bird, in the freezer:
Throw in the Celebrations, em, my,
Wrap ‘em all up until they’re cheerier.

Fight with the sim partner on money,
More is blessed when you’re tall,
Buy three birds in one, okay, honey,
Your technology is your best...

Rustle the leaves on the golden lawn.
Silently blowing from the dawn
Comes a breeze; its gentle song
Harkens the scarlet leaves along:
"Winter is coming, winter is coming,"
Quietly whispers the cold wind running:
"Go to sleep, go to sleep."

Barren the goddesses of the wood.
Pillars of beauty once they stood;
Now...

There's a chill in the air and the aroma of burning leaves abounds.
The bugling of lovelorn elk is one of autumn's quainter sounds.
Trees that provided summer shade with jade-hued leaves, now shed,
Have assumed beautiful robes of yellow, gold and ravishing red!

Sprightly squirrels scurry about secreting...

Why is the sky blue? Asked Jimmy 
Fantastic question!
Why indeed?
Why did The Creator
Whether God or Science or a Scientific God 
Choose blue
Instead of forest green, pale yellow, or maroon?
Is it because the day seems cheerier
The world brighter
The people friendlier
Due to the color overhead?
A Mount Everest...

March- that month that marches in-
     forceful sometimes in her spin,
pushing Winter out to bring
     return of warmer, cheerier Spring!
