ON THE WAY

It's so easy to be negative in poems to get out sadness and anger. They become sort of like the news mostly sad stuff.  Gotta remind myself that yes there is a huge need for sad emotions to be worked out but you gotta find the happy too!

Can’t be all sad

some need to be glad

Happy and uplifting

Lots of poems about

aches and sorrows

Got to have some hopes

for tomorrows

—-

Variety is the spice of life

Humor is reality 

turned inside out

Got to shout out

happy words

Sometimes

or your life becomes 

unbalanced

—-

Yes there is plenty 

needed change

Many things need
to be rearranged
---

But on the way

have some fun play

or your days 

become colorless 

all black

—-

add some reds, blues

greens and yellows

You’ll find them in nature

Which is where happiness

is grown

The happy zone

you must visit 

As often as you can

—-

That is the land where dreams come true

lessening the degree of need

To write only sad mad poems.
