Poetry About Being Happy
Poetry about being happy gives attention to joy without making it shallow. These poems move through laughter, sunlight, small rituals, friendship, gratitude, and the surprising peace of wanting nothing more for a moment.
Happiness can be loud or quiet, temporary or steady. It asks to be noticed while it is here.

Kitchen Laugh
A poem about ordinary joy.
We laughed
so hard
the kitchen forgot
it was small.
Joy leaned
against the counter
and stayed awhile.

Enough

The day gave me
clean sheets,
warm bread,
one honest call.
For once,
enough
did not feel
like surrender.

through the yellow door
without explaining
where it had been.
I let it in
before doubt
checked the locks.
