Happiness is fun! And who can argue with the title of one of Pauline
Oliver's poems about happiness. And you'll find similar sentiments in inspirational
poems by the likes of John Dryden, Emily Brontë, and Thich Nhat Hanh. You'll
also find links to other famous poems, passion poems, inspirational stories and
even inspirational quotes. Why a link to inspirational quotes? Well,
don't quotes like this make you happy?... "The little unremembered
acts of kindness and love are the best parts of a person's life."
-- William Wordsworth (Find more happiness
quotes here!) Well, I do hope so. And I also hope you will let
us know what you think about these poems about happiness, too! Let's
get going, then...
Happiness Poems"Kiss
The Earth" - what Thich Nhat Hanh has to say...Kiss The Earth
Walk and touch peace every moment.
Walk and touch happiness every moment.
Each
step brings a fresh breeze.
Each step makes a flower bloom.
Kiss the Earth
with your feet.
Bring the Earth your love and happiness.
The Earth will
be safe
when we feel safe in ourselves. One (of many) poems about happiness
by Thich Nhat Hanh
"Happy The Man" - what
John Dryden has to say...Happy The Man Happy the man, and
happy he alone,
He who can call today his own:
He who, secure within, can
say,
Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.
Be fair or foul or rain
or shine
The joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine.
Not Heaven
itself upon the past has power,
But what has been, has been, and I have had
my hour. by John Dryden
"Happiness is
fun" - what Pauline Oliver has to say...Happiness Is Fun Happy
is as happy does
When all is said and done
Truly being happy
Starts with
having fun Set those happiness endorphins free
To flood your stressed
out brain
With lots of happy thoughts
To relax and ease the strain
Eat
chocolate
And laugh-a-lot Chew chilis hot and red
Wear bright colours
instead Keep a dog or a cat
Try yoga on a mat Feel sunshine warm
your being
Seek beauty for the seeing Classical music wins by miles
Exchanging
lots of smiles That's how to raise your spirit
Lift your body and your
mind
This daily dose of happiness
Is a pleasure - you will find. By
Pauline Oliver

By the way, Pauline told me that she
never used to think of herself as a poet at all. But then she started to write,
and all that changed. Yes, sometimes all that we really need do to become something
we're not - e.g. a writer - is to start! And that's the whole philosophy
behind Chris Cade's Inscribe
Your Life program, as it happens. Chris believes that we are all writers,
if we would just sit down and begin to write. He also believes that writing
can help us heal old wounds, help us rewrite our own lives. And Chris's
Inscribe Your Life program shows you how... :-)
"How still, how happy!" - what Emily Bronte has to say...How
still, how happy! How still, how happy! Those are words
That once
would scarce agree together;
I loved the plashing of the surge -
The changing
heaven the breezy weather, More than smooth seas and cloudless skies
And
solemn, soothing, softened airs
That in the forest woke no sighs
And from
the green spray shook no tears. How still, how happy! now I feel
Where
silence dwells is sweeter far
Than laughing mirth's most joyous swell
However
pure its raptures are. Come, sit down on this sunny stone:
'Tis wintry
light o'er flowerless moors -
But sit - for we are all alone
And clear expand
heaven's breathless shores. I could think in the withered grass
Spring's
budding wreaths we might discern;
The violet's eye might shyly flash
And
young leaves shoot among the fern. It is but thought - full many a night
The
snow shall clothe those hills afar
And storms shall add a drearier blight
And
winds shall wage a wilder war, Before the lark may herald in
Fresh foliage
twined with blossoms fair
And summer days again begin
Their glory - haloed
crown to wear. Yet my heart loves December's smile
As much as July's
golden beam;
Then let us sit and watch the while
The blue ice curdling on
the stream One (of many) inspirational
poems by Emily Brontë
