Funny the things that make people happy. Nice gestures can make one happy, or making someone else's life miserable can make one happy. Happiness is a very broad word when trying to determine a definition, but happy is what ever you want it to be I suppose. Very nicely penned here. I like this.

Thank you for this appreciative review Cole, and I find it gratifying that you have found this poem .. read moreThank you for this appreciative review Cole, and I find it gratifying that you have found this poem quite useful, especially as the experiences which I am touching on are not always particularly to overcome, or to live with or to treat. Although it seems right to consider phases of depression, as simply phases, which can certainly be the case, thank you again.
' I write for die hard doubters, ~ the morosely pessimistic, ~ for down - trodden depressives ~ and mistrusting cynics. ' .. .. not sure whether to laugh or cry!
There's a wit in this poem, a tongue in cheek cleverness - for and to me anyway .. that final stanza seems to be the icing on the useless-ness-ity of your attempted cake!
You always write with a very distinct voice, no veiling the skilfull metaphors, etc. Thanks muchly for sharing again. :)
(Eyes bulged trying to read that teeny font re. games at the end .. ! Unsure, are they part of your poem or am i having hallucinations, Sheema!

Oh what a pleasure it can be to laugh through adversities ( as opposed to laugh them off and not address the issues). Thank you so very much I was unsure about publishing this older piece and for some reason then began to link the poem, visually with playing board games or with leisure activities, games which of course keep the mind occupied and so the list came about, which was just an idea which I was working through. I am glad you asked, and am glad that you called by. Thanks so much.
The way I read this poem is that you are entering a contest of poetry and you want to choose gloomy subjects or write about pathetic people who are down and gloomy ( I could be wrong ) . I doubt that you will loose competitions for you are gifted with talent...Bravo

Your compliments are both flattering and encouraging....we all go through phases of the most demeaning term, 'pathetic' which I was trying to frame lightly within my word play, good of your to drop by and thanks a million!
