Happiness
Mikeydred's First Poetic Challenge - Karin Venables
This is a series of short sonnets based on suggestions by Vocal friends. I will include a suitable video as well.
The challenge is “give me a subject and five words and I will try and create a sonnet”.
This is from Karin Venables:
Happiness Words: cost, delight, love, eternity, soul.

Happiness has little cost
When you delight me so much
I love your smile, words so soft
Eternity beckons our love
֎
My soul is yours, and yours mine
Happiness is here for us
Our future now looks so fine
Together In love we trust
֎
I cannot say just how much
Your sweetest smile delights me
I think of you You’re My love
Your lovely face I must see
We’ll walk to eternity
Hand in hand, happy and free

The Fish Song
The room didn’t smell like disinfectants. Its fragrance seemed light and not overbearing. A soft mixture of lavender and mint permeated the space. No beeping machines or any tubes hooked up to four-year-old Kaleeka. Her cacao skin seemed to glow from the light over her head. The family, save for one and the doctors and nurses exited the room like a trail of saints showing their last vestiges of regard.
