What's the best thing for being sad...24 hours

Hi you amazing writers...

What is the best thing for being sad...

Merlin told a young Arthur to learn something when he asked that question...

don't mention sad in your poem...
and don't tell me about what to do...

make me feel happy...
or at least glad to be participating in this fabulous miracle...

emotion is such a plus here...



other than that no rules...
will judge Sunday evening...


lately writes for my contests have been extraordinary...soooooo....


TRIPLE POINTS for any poem making me cry
regardless of placement......(yes...I am a swilling stream sometimes)

(you'll have to take my word for it, unless you find tear stains in your comment box, but I am an honest guy, really...)


so go find your feathers...

    Wow

    This is a great prompt, unfortunately, I finished a poem today that I think would have been pretty good, but yeah, it's about me learning from pain. And, yes, music is the best thing... It is beautiful... (yes, I am a Band Geek =)
