Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I suspect that our dark emotions are often stronger, and perhaps fewer in number, and usually not anticipated, as joyful feelings might be for most of us!.

Certainly they can be more intense, and historically; darkness, anger, depression, confusion, angst, etc!. are most prolific in context in volumes of poetry or prose!.

I don't know that I'd use the word "easy" though!. Some who write on the dark side, do so merely to vent, or find some therapy in expressing that way!.

Beyond that, we all endure some melancholy in our lives!. My opinion is; to wear a smiley face all the time, might also be as painful as the alternatives!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you have been writing sad poetry
for long
then this seems to be the kind
that is easier
People write poetry different
When you write poems of memorial
in memoriam of someone
missing someone
These can be some sad poetry
also these types of poems allow
the writer to express themselves

I find when emotions are high and raw, you have so many more adjectives to describe how utterly awful you feel!.
I think your emotions drive your psyche and promote it to produce better and interesting odes!.!.!.!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Negative!

hehehe!.!.!.I'm so funny sometimes!.!.!.

I can do both pretty well!. It is not about my mood!. I let the poetry tell me how it feels!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's not!.But it's easier for people to give up, then just solve the reason of their sadness!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
