happy poems.....how do u write them

i would first suggest reading a hand-ful of love poems and friendship poems, try to pick the happy titles and most likely they'll be a happy poem, just getting fimiliar with can help you see what kind of ideas other poets use, and just the way that they read.

then i would suggest just practice trying to write them. at first they may seem really bad but that's ok, with time you'll get more use to it and you'll get better at it.

just try to pick out positive or lovely, happy situations and try to write about them. or ask other's for ideas of what the poem is about and simply try to write about it.

this is what i kind of used when i started writing love poems.

good luck

I hate to be overly critical, and I had far from a happy childhood (father with unrealistic expectations - small family business in an industry I had no interest in following) but these 13-15 year olds with the weight of the world on their shoulders: where are we getting them all from? I know poetry tends toward the artist, and artists are seemingly the more melancholy in society, but Jesus... Every time I see a youngster post on here it's "oh I can only write sad poems" or "poetry stops me cutting myself" and suchlike.

Trust me: if you are 14 and live in the West and can afford to be on the internet (and it's not a youth offender institute's connection) while listening to your fave Emo band, dressed in the clothes you CHOOSE to refelct your personality: you are a very VERY lucky person indeed, and should just get a grip. Or seek serious professional help.

I have contacts who have visited a refugee camp in Rafah, a friend who served with the UN in Kosovo, and I've seen for myself what life is like for the young in an African third world country.

Trust me, had I known at 14 what I know about the worldnow, I would not have been dressed in black, sitting in my Bedroom listening to The Mission and Sisters of Mercy, writing profoundly self-absorbed poetry which I later destroyed in embarrassment.

Agree with Jacklyn
Good point of view ;)

Happy poems? Alot of my poems are love poems, but i do have some poems about life, and they are inspirational and full of positive thinking, they are happy poems to me, but if you want to write a happy poem you have to be thinking happy thoughts, and reading something that makes you happy or smile is a great start, maybe read some of mine like "don't give up", "the person i am" or "i wont be hurt by silly words", maybe that'll help.
but really, to write a happy poem you need to be happy in some way.

I write happy poems when I'm happy.

But usually when I'm writing poetry I'm sad, and I'm writing to get the bad emotions out, instead of crying.

When I'm happy I'm not writing, but dancing around laughing, too joyful to sit down and write.

Occasionally, though, I'll get a merry thought and scribble it down.
But usually I take advantage of the opportunity to write when I am sad, and to get it all out in the way that harms the fewest people as possible.

"genuine happiness is a false sense of reality or at the very least a fleeting thought, amongst poets."

I disagree. Genuine happiness is being caught up in a joyous moment that pushes aside all other feelings that are predominant in your natural mindset. If you can continue to feed of that moment you're a luck person.

Or you have some great pot.

I fail to see the releveance of that post, at all.

Well, I think in order to right a truelly happy poem, you need something happy to happen to you.

^^ not really, i've writen poems about subjects that i have never experianced and many of those poems are well liked by others compared to the things in life i have experianced. it's just a matter of experimenting with your creativity and a lot of practice.

think about the happiest moment of ur life...
dont think about what ur writing too hard

just let the words and the letters form in ur mind

u'll get it easy if u dont try

ha, it sounds lame, i know
but try it

i agree with it...but according to me writing a happy poem isn't a tough job to do... when u r sad u think too much... most probably its imagination... why can't we imagine a happy situation... try it out its damn simply... if u dont believe me then u can read my poem... maybe u can find out how did i manage it... tc...
