How To Write Happiness....From The Learned Poetess.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

the poetess
writes happiness on
the sand
beside the furious
waves

she is a failure says
the boat

'come, ride with me'
the boat invites

the sun is up and
she has no umbrella

she begins to write
happiness
on the water

nothing happens
of course

and then it is night
time

quite long for
sadness

then she writes
words for the moon

in the air and then
the moon smiles

the
moon understands what
happiness is


perfectly....
