I certainly like Ms Cheerful, she took care of me after I got out of the hospital...and yes indeed she kept me smiling, she was so nice that I wanted to keep her with me....lol..

The rhyme scheme was well done throughout the piece, and Yep, Ms Cheerful would make anyone feel better....Thanks for sharing this with us, it was a perfect example for the contest...I read your profile, and I can now say, I had the pleasure of teaching high school english too!
All the best to you!
Warmly,
Victoria

This delightful poem is an excellent entry in the personification contest. I especially like that you chose a cheerful emotion. I've run across a Cheryl Cheerful on occasion and she was a welcomed experience. Great job. Best wishes in the contest.

This poem definitely has a character, Ms. Cheerful, who is happy, never sad; cheerful, a beaming fan, sunny on the bleakest of days and an optimist who has a bubbly laugh. Wish she was nonfiction.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I like you creative approach to the contest in that you 'created' Cherly Cheerful as people we meet everyday and have an opportunity to feel a little better as their cheerfulness rubs off on us. There's a run-on sentence!!! Good job and good luck in the contest. ann

Well, this a very upbeat poem. I know there is power in being upbeat, when it is real and natural. I think you do a good job showing the personification of cheerfulness. I guess that is an emotion or at least related to happiness.

Good idea.

Hello author, I enjoyed reading your poem. You crafted this poem well because I was smiling as I read it. Of special note:

She's ageless 'cause she's never sad
(This is so true. I know a Cheryl and she is ageless. It's amazing.)

Also:
Ms. Cheery in the groc'ry aisle.
(I'm still looking for her. I'll stay optimistic.)

Good rhyming. Well chosen artwork. A pleasure to read. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. LateBloomer

I wish I could be Mrs. Cheerful or at least know someone like her. Most of my friends put a negative swing on things. I am cheerful 90% of the time. Great choice of emotion for this contest. Good luck.

The personification of optimism can be seen in the piece, Cheryl Cheerful. The identification of a person who helps elevate everyone's spirits is nice to observe.
