Answer and Explanation:

"So Much Happiness" is a poem by author Naomi Shihab Nye. In lines 1 through 8, the speaker compares happiness and sadness to show that the former is, at the same time, an easy and uncontrollable feeling. Sadness gives us something to worry about, to tend to:

"With sadness there is something to rub against,

a wound to tend with lotion and cloth."

But with happiness, there is nothing to worry about. Happiness does not demand care. It is easy, free, light. So much so that, no matter where you live, or what kind of life you have, with happiness you learn to love it all.

"But happiness floats.

It doesn't need you to hold it down.

I doesn't need anything."

Poetry is condensed and restrictive in the sense that the number of words is limited. This means that every word must mean more than one thing, and it is the poet's job to find just the perfect words -- perfect in sound, meaning, and structure. This concept gives poetry its layers of meaning. Prose is free-er. It does not concern itself much on the way it sounds and the way it looks on the page the way poetry does.
