a small laugh at first
erupts into so much more
tears spill from laughter
as the world twists out of shape
it’s so hard to catch my breath
erupts into so much more

it’s so hard to catch my breath
Paint a Laugh
what does a laugh look like
as it floats on air
planting a seed in one’s heart
i imagine a white puff
like dandelion seeds
floating on the breeze
planting a seed in one’s heart
as it floats on air
planting a seed in one’s heart
i imagine a white puff
like dandelion seeds
floating on the breeze
planting a seed in one’s heart
All It Takes
her fluttering laugh
that bursts from her lips
like a magical stream of bubbles
that bursts from her lips
like a magical stream of bubbles
her floating dance
that flows from within
moving to a rhythm only she hears
that flows from within
moving to a rhythm only she hears
her twinkling smile
that brightens her face
lighting up the world around her
that brightens her face
lighting up the world around her
her willful independence
that sparkles in her eyes
brings a smile to my lips everytime
that sparkles in her eyes
brings a smile to my lips everytime
her laugh, her dance, her smile
that’s all it takes
from this precious little girl
to inspire joy within me
that’s all it takes
from this precious little girl
to inspire joy within me
Just delightful, one to put the smile on everyone's face... I adore this and thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed these very much. One really has to enjoy life through the eyes of a child sometimes, I think. Your last poem, especially, captured that wonderful childhood freedom!!!

Excellent poetic treatment on laughter. Really like the way you broke it down here, especially how it culminated in the third poems final lines. Great write. Thanks
ReplyDeleteA pleasure to read, this trio of poems looks at laughter from all sides. I particularly like the middle piece, as you prompted me to consider the visage of laughter. I never have done that before.
