Sad Poetry

I most likely always write about relationship problems, heartbreak, lost love, etc. etc. I want to be able to write something with happiness or fulfillment, but I never can..suggestions? help?

Also, if anyone would like to read my poetry and criticise or offer help please do b/c I want to get better.

Just write about whatever you want to. You can like challenge yourself to write something completely different and try to improve. But if you just want to get something of your chest, then don't feel bad if all poems are sad. I mean, mine are allllllll sad... hahaha.

I also find it hard to write happy poems, guess since my mum and boyfriend died have nothing good to write bout.

poetry is really how you feel so i f your sad then yuo tend to write bout sadness but try to make your self happy then maybe your poems will be become a lil less sad

well, I'd tell look for the good dayz. sweet memories. always try to forget your sad or bad situations!!!
its something in your life...maybe theres something wrong!

i struggle with happiness a lot. it seems i can write about despair better than i can about elation. sad but true. =P its hard, most people find it hard, but drawing on memories may help. =)

I used to have a very difficult time writing about love [as in love poems with happy endings] I would start a love poem and then end it by showing the down side of how love could hurt you. So now, if I want to write a love poem [that shows to upside] I have to look outside my own experiences and at someone who has had a love that lasted a lifetime. Like my parents or a few of my friends who's love has withstood the hands of time.

Sometimes, it's just a question of practice. Try writing about something you haven't wrote about before.

I have SO much trouble writing happy poems . If yu look at my poetry, most of them are "Lost Love" poems x) I just never really have anything GOOD to write about, and when I do; I just can`t find the words .
Just keep doin` what`chu do . Try and just look outside of what yu experience, and try to step into someone else's shoes . Imagine how happy you wuld be or smoething and just write it all down , y`feel me ?
