poem challenge: Happiness is ...
AutumnSkyes

I Am Happy

When my friends hug me so hard I can't take a single breath,           I am happy
When I sit outside and hear all of the birds and leaves rustling,        I am happy
When my sister and I make up new inside jokes, and say
   them to each other at the worst times                                              I am happy 
When my friends and I start dancing in the middle of nowhere           I am happy   
When we laugh and joke at the dinner table                                       I am happy
When we scream sing songs                                                              I am happy
When I log into YWP                                                                           I am happy
When I wake up and just know it will be a good day                         

I am happy

    Love a good inside joke, especially at the worst times XD 23!

    I write because the music of language spoke to me in books and I wanted to make a beautiful noise to answer back ~ Lee Williams.

    I can relate to when my friends and I start dancing. This poem is very positive! I like it.
