Happiness hovers and catches your breath
Thoughts gush and rush forth
Preserve this feeling:
Bottle it!
And then
Bring it out again
To help face the darker days
That have been before and will come again!

Glad I discovered your work today Alison. Write On!
Thanks Ian :-)
Maxine I am glad you found my work also - Poetry slams sound like an interesting experience.
Now - to say what I normally do not say here - what is this about. I just found out that 2 of my poems were accepted for publication. This means a lot to me and in my happiness I tweeted a poem to express that joy. Looking at the tweet later I thought - hey this has potential and thus "a bottle of happiness" was born...
Thanks Sue for helping me fine tune this poem and Graeme for finding the right word.
I word Preserve replaced Capture - and brings to mind preserving the moment to be enjoyed at at future point in time :-)
