Can one say:

a. Unlucky is what I am.
b. What I am is unlucky.

c. Up is where I am going.
d. Where I am going is up.

e. Lucky is what he got.
f. What he got was lucky.

g. Happy is what I will make you.
h. What I will make you is happy.

Are these sentences acceptable in the formal English?

Many Thanks

All theoretically possible, although some speakers would probably reject (e) on account of the ambiguity of 'got'.
