Nice job with the format and good message for me. I tend to hold grudges...going all the way back to the bus line in grade school. I know I should forgive and that some of my grudges are trivial. They seemed like big deals at the time.

    Elon, we all suffered what seemed at the time insufferable wrongs, the process of developing 2" thick skin takes time.

Hello,
I pray all is well with you during this pandemic. This is a lovely poem on proper preparation to be happy. You met the format of the poem's requirement. I really like your rhyming of the end words. I like how you gave the ways to make someone happy, 1) never take someone for granted, 2) find a good wife (bingo), 3) believe in yourself, and so much more. This is a great line, "put your heart and soul into everything you do!" This is a wonderful written poem. Well-done. Very creative! Love the photo. Thanks. Happy writing:-)

Well, this certainly is a happy poem. I had to smile at your use of 'boo-hoo.' That added just the right touch of whimsy to this delightful poem. And your advice is very sound. Hugs, Lou

Your exuberant, vividly descriptive and creative poem give some excellent advice for living life to the fullest. Yes, happiness is "planted," grudges are
joy killers, and never EVER take love for granted.

This was a good enough poem. It read as a free verse, even if it did have a sort of faint rhyme scheme. I like to see poems with positive messages to them, and this did have that.

Brilliant rhyming life rules. I couldn't have put it better myself even if I tried. I would love to say that I had written a poem as good as this.

How true you pen, but understand that life is a walk in strife where what one plans become unravel at the end. How happy we would be if life would let us be what we were meant to be. Very good entry for What Makes Me Happy. :)

I think one of the best thing to remember is never to judge people, be kind, and live a life of sober habits. Forgive others, and a great thing to do is choose friends wisely, we'll done, this is a superb entry in this contest, you've done a marvellous job. Written in aabb hexametric stanzas, well done, blessings, Roy
