Happiness by Raymond Carver
So early it's still almost dark out.
I'm near the window with coffee,
and the usual early morning stuff
that passes for thought.
When I see the boy and his friend
walking up the road
to deliver the newspaper.
They wear caps and sweaters,
and one boy has a bag over his shoulder.
They are so happy
they aren't saying anything, these boys.
I think if they could, they would take
each other's arm.
It's early in the morning,
and they are doing this thing together.
They come on, slowly.
The sky is taking on light,
though the moon still hangs pale over the water.
Such beauty that for a minute
death and ambition, even love,
doesn't enter into this.
Happiness. It comes on
unexpectedly. And goes beyond, really,
any early morning talk about it.

hyperbole: these boys
personification:The sky is taking on light,
though the moon still hangs pale over the water. Metaphors:Happiness. It comes on
unexpectedly,And goes beyond, really,any early morning talk about it.
Smiles:None
Symbolis:Morning,the boys,sky and moon.They all means happiness in this poem.
The reason why i like this poem is because the writer uses the morning which is indeed a very happy time of the day as the sun had just rose and you have plenty of time to do your things.The Figurative words or phrase used is also very beautiful.Especially the last and the last second parts.The description was wonderful and nice.The storyline also tells a tale that always happens in my home town china.The story also have happiness from different people.Like the boy is happy because he will be getting money after deliver the newspaper,his friend happy to be with his friend and the writer happy because of the moring sky,sun and the setting moon.And the conclusion is perfect
