A Happy Poem to Start Every Day!

A Happy Poem to Start Every Day offers poems to sooth or motivate, whether you wake up to the chirping of birds, or stumble out the door in a last minute rush. Take time for yourself each morning to boost your mood, with a happy poem to set yourself up for the day.

This book features one happy poem for each day of the year, to keep by your besides or on the kitchen counter, to read while your coffee brews. Or keep it in your rucksack or briefcase for the morning commute. Includes poems by John Keats to Rumi.

of a narrowboat,
and on the quiet river,
