7 Sunshine Yellow Poems About Joy
Joy is a funny thing; it’s happy-go-lucky energy tempts us all.
So often, we seek and we search, trying to find joy in everything outside of our control, when the truth is: joy resides in us all.
Whilst joy may be found temporarily in material things, it’s often the tiny moments that truly make our hearts sing.
So, let’s sing – to joy, to celebration, and to the beating of our hearts, as they explode with the effervescent energy of a joy-filled world.
I hope you enjoy this lovingly curated collection of poetry about joy.

3. Plastic Mackintosh – Jadine Lydia
The yellow coat, she wore.
A plastic mackintosh,
varnished with the smell of spring,
a daffodil in disguise.
She dipped in and out of the crowds,
spreading her happy go lucky light,
in the free-spirited way,
in which one gives,
one loves,
and one simply does.
Because it’s the only way.
She flitted in and out,
like a bumblebee
harvesting her sweet nectar.
She picked up, dropped off,
and revelled in the madness
of an ever-changing world.
A world in which we bounce,
reflect and retract
in a flurry of potent pollen,
convulsions of effervescent energy.
A world where we can choose,
to reflect, retract or restore
the sun rays beneath the surface,
of every inquisitive interaction –
the yellow within us all.

4. Supernova – Jadine Lydia
She cracked her heart wide open
and let the supernova begin,
where pain met joy
and joy met love
and love began again.

5. Small Joys - Christopher Kerby
6. Life Jerk – Jadine Lydia
sometimes, it just hits me
slap bang in the middle
of my wild, jaded heart.
that ecstatic feeling;
a sharp slap
on my cheek of chalk
that says:
wake up! this is life.
it is here to be had,
it is yours to be felt
and you are here to delve
into the good
the bad
and the beautiful.
give thanks,
for you are alive
and every little cell
in your ever-expanding body
is renewed + revived.
you are alive.
