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.
Here’s a poem from the book: Naga-Uta (inspired by Japanese short poems):
Clearest of clear days;
Frozen leaves under my feet,
Frost on bare branches,
Blue sky, smoke from the funnel
of a narrowboat,
and on the quiet river,
great slicks of pale gold sunlight
Wendy Cope
