Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

To establish a metaphor for happiness, write down a list of things that you equate to happiness!. Is happiness your enjoyment of music!? Is it the promise of calm after the storms of life!? Is it the scent of spring flowers, the laughter of children, the comforts of home!?

I seem to remember the title, "Happiness is a Warm Puppy," being used!. That is a good example of a metaphor for happiness!.

When you define happiness in terms of something that represents it to you, a metaphor will present itself!.

Good luck!. Sonnets are a challenge, but the results are very satisfying!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
