Best Livelier Poems

Finding Happiness in Everyday Pleasures

Happiness is bathing in glorious, golden sunshine,
absorbing the beauty of sunsets deliciously divine.
Dancing through cool droplets of silvery rain,
feeling cleansed, refreshed, and reborn again.

Happiness is inhaling the enchanting perfume of a riotous rose,
enjoying tropical beach sand trickling and tickling my toes.
Stroking...

Saturday
The day she rewrote herself
No more sad songs
With livelier tunes she sings along
She has welcomed the call of opposites
When she wishes to be alone she calls a friend
If she is sad she tries on happy 
At first a game of pretend

She changes her hair
Relishes how...

She'd had her round in Life's blighting furnace,
Where stealthy wear and age blurred her face.
Dents shot where dreamy dimples had grown,
Lightning smiles usurped by involuntary frown.  

In her livelier turns by Midas' glowing shores,
She galloped and gleamed like grated brass. 
Time’s grim cankers fell...

BAHAY KUBO

Our Bahay Kubo
Is made of light materials of woods, nipa and bamboo
It is situated near the sand dunes of the sea
Its fence surrounding it is made of bamboo too
And kitchen wares from indigenous and pottery also.

The style of the Kubo
Is a split design, though
The...

I was skeptically listening 
to a retiring social researcher,
and problem-solving imaginer,
from the American Enterprise Institute;

An Institute
I usually find more destitute
of bicameral consciousness than not,
and thereby with less healthy resonant imagination
than more pathological dissonance.

But, I found myself agreeing with him.
He is retiring,
in part,
because he is tired...

Life is like that extent 
     Live that moment 
                   to full extent

Jostling between the cattle
as they crowded the street
with steaming bodies
I steered my bicycle to school.

Fresh manure lay
in puddles on the ground,
plastering my shoes 
with sloppy mush.

Men with caps and hats
at all  angles, slapped hands
and bargaine, buying
and selling all day long

Many shop windows
were nailed with...

Always look on the sunny side
The sunny side of life
It's where you'll forever find me
Life's just one big slice

A slice of joy and happiness
Waiting for you to call
Doesn't even require a passport
It's there to welcome all

A thousand times more enjoyable
Than stumbling round in a funk
Your...

as things speed up 
at an ever faster clip
they're ready to interrupt
my mind's day nondescript
to mark my thoughts - every tiny blip

and keep them cross-indexed
in a clouded database
kept in the current context
never to be erased
their potential to be raised

and analyze my standard deviation
modeled with statistical...

Crackling blood lies in these forest grounds
Grass growing by its lively effect…
Growing a grimace to the environment    
As the predators hung her on the branches,
carving her left eye on the oak tree
and carving her right eye on the olive tree

They grow livelier…

Free, at last, from the life of ire
Ignited her misery with his pyre—
Reeking of her husband of years,
Embers cooling slowly like her tears.

Married a lad so handsome and young,
Sweet as sorbet on a fevered tongue.
Two lovely kids their love did bring,
A boy and a girl,...

You are more beautiful than beauty
More lovable than love
More lustrous than the petal of a rose
Livelier than life
More vibrant than the rainbow;

You have more curves
than a meandering stream,
Than a winding road,
More playful than a feather 
swept off by the wind;

Your smile is like a silver...

Hopper's painted a sober couple
with an unamorous sentiment;
two lovers with faces too distant,
with hands not touching, not feeling...
just being realistic and sensible,
reflecting on a tomorrow that was coming.
 


The exterior colors are of a depressing dark,
and the interior ones are mixed with bright
ones...with an ivory...
