Sad verses Happy poetry?

[rowens]

Being happy seems to me to influence other things, other activities. Writing uses more reflection, and projections. You project yourself into the future and think of ultimate things, like loss and death. You project into the past and relive loss and humiliatons. When you recall happy things, the urge isn't as strong to have to "do something about it". You can feel those rare moments of contentment and rest when you're happy. Even when you write poems celebrating something, it will have a feeling of sadness in it after you're dead. If anyone reads it then.

When you're digging around trying to come up with something that'll effect people emotionally or intellectually, you drag out all those sad things.
