Conclusion

During the duration of this project I have been collecting and analyzing poems based on the theme happiness. Believe it or not there are very few happy poems in the world. I choose three poems to dissect and investigate. Those three are, //How Happy is the little Stone//, //Blackberry Eating// and //The Preservation of Flowers//. Though each of these poems were unique they all revolved around the common theme of happiness. //How Happy is the Little Stone// discussed wether or not a simple life would be a happier one, while //Blackberry Eating// showed how the smallest of things can brighten up life. //Preservation of Flowers// made it clear that the tiniest spec, can make a dull scene colorful and exciting.

The one that caught my attention most was //How Happy is the Little Stone//. This is because it took more to interpret it and the points brought up were controversial and made me have to think. The poem talks about how a stone is happy because it lives a simple life and is not forced to deal with life's problems such as careers. The sight sense of sarcasm in the poem made me wonder, if life was so simple you never needed to think, would you be happier? That question made the poem more intriguing for me and as a result the poem influenced me more so than the others.
