Is this poem actually cheerful?

Question

"Circles"

Behold the twilight sweetly singing lark

nestled in the tree branches far above.

Her lilting song strikes in the heart a spark,

and illuminates the world with love.

Behold the grass green growing in the field,

living its life to die and die again.

As it waves it creates a verdant shield

and inspires the poet's longing pen.

Behold the brilliant cerulean sky,

the calming whisper of the ocean blue.

Open your heart's doors, own your wings to fly,

create the sun to rise for only you.

Embrace, extol the beauty of the Earth,

where everything that falls returns to birth.

Answer 1

Soothing and cheerfull.

Answer 2

Joyful, could feel the joy, The last line is a treasure to remember.

Kudos.

Answer 3

Any poem that uses "cerulean"

Makes me feel so cool again

I mean it! I ain't no hooligan.

Who made the lark sing sweet,

The beech tree ramificate,

The green grass shoot,

Up, the owl hoot,

Who makes the Sun daily rise,

Also made Evadne wise.

Answer 4

yours arms made a circle to embrace this.

..the little birdy singing is cheerful.  :)

Answer 5

It was a surreal experience for me both times I read. In some ways I felt I was chasing a rabbit down a hole while wearing a dress.

Answer 6

Yes, yes it is actually; it's very beautiful as well. I'm not well read on Emily Dickinson and I'm not trying to compare this to one of hers, but for some reason she came to my mind after reading this. I guess when I think of Emily's writing I think of soft, eloquent, beauty--that's what I experienced with this poem (come to think of it, most of your poetry does that to me). This is the very definition of a Sonnet and that ending couplet is timeless and true.

Answer 7

its not cheerful like  a cheerleader lol...but its uplifting, like a rainbow!

and u should know, i genuinely love the poem!

Answer 8

Cheerful is definitely not the adjective I'd use to describe it, but I do like it.  It expresses a positive sense of hope and the endurance of life, but not exactly 'cheerful'.

Answer 9

In reading this I heard echoes of Shelley.

I like the colors, imagery and sounds in this poem. It truly engages the senses (and changes the subject).
