Finding the magic in the mundane. Beautiful.

Lol right? Like something your grandma would say. Simple, impactful, the point is made. Something to sit and think about after thanksgiving dinner lol

I thought about elaborating further but by the time I reached the second to last line I had said everything I wanted to say. I feel It worked out well. Thanks!

I’m with you here. While he could’ve gone into depth they kept theyre word choice nice. They wrote it so it’s very easy to say.

I like it. While I think you could go into more detail, it doesn't feel necessary. The novelty and the tragedy of tomorrow spoke to me. The unique ability to change each day shines through here, despite what we may experience. Soft, loving, something a grandmother would say to you. I like it. Cheers!

It's was so different and refreshing to see a happy poem! It definitely makes one have a positive outlook! I look forward to reading more poems from you, especially the happy ones.

I’m happy you saw that! I never intended to have that effect but I’m happy it’s there. I write to share; and this poem contains a feeling of mine I want to share as much as possible. I feel it’s easier to inflict sorrow through negative poetry than to bring happiness through positive poetry. It’s a goal of mine to be able to write and perform the latter, so I’m happy I accomplished it and I definitely will try to write more, thanks!

The poem is almost written with child-like wonder. Each line is quick but that's because you're rushing to get the next word out because you're so excited to explain your joy. I think you could definitely write more poems based of this one. Well done!

Thanks for responding! I feel sorrowful and negative things are easier to write about as those feelings are more prevalent, common, and impactful in one’s life. But as an optimist I find it a blessing to live in this world and I wanted to share that feeling and I’m glad you’ve understood. Thanks and hope you’re well!

Love the positivity coming from this poem. This world holds innumerable perspectives and you've chosen one that brings bliss. I hope you continue to write, though understandable if not everything can be so positive. Still, it's nice to bask in it while here. Thanks for sharing.

Written almost like someone who knows they are about to die. I had a friend enter this stage of attitude weeks before finding out he had weeks to live. This is what it looks like whether consciously or not, to change for the better.

Really like it, I would edit it a tiny bit but that’s just me … 

I love living-
every part of it.
Every moment,
every feeling.
The novelty 
of tomorrow;
every new tragedy,
travesty, and fortune 
teaches me,
changes me,
so I’m never the same 
as I was yesterday.
And that is bliss.

Only tiny changes it’s just how I wanted to read it.

This is a simple poem with a simple message that is really more complicated than you think: It can be very, very hard to be happy. To appreciate being hurt. The ability to revel in all feeling is a hard ability to gain, because it takes time and work and misery. This poem really shows us that it’s all worth it. Thank you.

I enjoyed reading this. It has a positive feel to it. I do think that maybe a bit more detail and indepth description could be used, but this is only my opinion. The poem works well as it is. I also liked how the short lines gives the impression of excitement which added to the positive feel of the poem. Great read.

I had a heart attack a few months ago and survived.  I'm only 41. So I felt every word of this.  Well done. Thank you

I love this. This poem feels like a reflection of how I feel right now. I’ve just lost everything and am starting over again, but tonight I feel optimistic. I feel strong. I know I’m going to turn this around.

What a simple seeming poem that's packed with so much.  I see in it the subtlety I feel when I am happy.  The inclusion of "tragedy,/ travesty, fortune and feeling" picks up on the nuances of happiness.  We can be happy on top of whatever happens to us in life.  

"And that is bliss."   This is the reminder I need to keep giving myself.   Thank you for sharing!

this poem is so real without using complex metaphors to make a point which is phenomenal. the fact the author can find bliss on every situation is so amazing! I also love how its written so simply and Iove it.

I can recognize that you are actually happy.
I’m glad you are still a good poet
