She helps me when I am in desperate need.

She is always thoughtful, kind and nice.

She always knows what to do when I’m worried.

My Mum is the sun that dries up my tears.          Hyperbole

She has a smile as big as a plate.                          Hyperbole

My Mum is patient and will wait for you.

My Mum is so amazing as the queen.                   Simile

If you ever do good she’ll scream who hoo.         Onomatopoeia

My Mum makes my day every single day.

My Mum makes meals like Gordon Ramsay.        Simile

She makes me happy even on bad days.

My Mum can answer anything I need.

There is no Mum that’s nicer than my Mum.

I love my favorite and perfect Mum.

Who loves his Family.

Who hates me.                                     Hyperbole

Who feels happiness.

Who enjoys soccer.

Who likes eating.

Who takes my clothes like a troll.     Simile

Who gives me joy.

Who keeps on laughing.                     Hyperbole

Who desires to be like a king.           Simile

Who plays every sport.                       Hyperbole

Who eats junk food.

Who reads nothing.                             Hyperbole

Who dreams of fame.

My Brother.

It smells like flowers

It tastes strawberries and milkshakes

It sounds like the crashing of waves

It feels like sand running through your fingers

It feels like your free

It feels like going to your favorite restaurant

Happiness.

Published Poem, Happiness by Juan Olivarez

# data[].attributes.body
Happiness is being home again,

Happiness is walking in the rain.

Happiness is waking with no pain.

Happiness to see my humble home,

Happiness at not being alone,

Happiness to sit, and not to roam.

Happiness is family to me,

Happiness in the faces, I longed to see,

Happiness is once more being free.

The poem is written in three stanzas with three lines in each. All of the lines besides the second line in the third stanza has nine syllables. There is also a rhyming scheme of AAA,BBB,CCC. All lines start with word happiness. The author is explaining how he interprets happiness by telling us what he finds makes him happy. The entire story is what  happiness is to him. I really liked this poem because it was very simple and it meant that anyone could understand it, all of it also makes complete sense when reading it.
