Notes About The Poem

Laughter

sometimes when I'm wiggling
I get carried away and lose my self-control
start giggling

it is my style
to bring laughter as I cajole
a smile

there's worth
found in a soul
mirth

sometimes when I'm wiggling
to bring laughter as I cajole
mirth

Laughing is good--I agree. However, when I feel depressed, which does happen, I can't stand other people laughing. It's funny because just a few weeks ago I couldn't stop laughing at how silly and crazy a working life really is. Nice job in your poem.

In my case, "giggling" often leads to "wiggling", and I never need to be "cajoled" into laughing. BOL in the contest, Lin.

Nice Minichu Lin, definitely not enough mirthful laughter around, but hey at least you’re trying to bring a smile to our faces, great entry, cheers David

I'm trying, David. Minichu can be fun to write, but it's also challenging with its stipulations. Thanks for liking this one.

Lin. Laughter every day is better than eating an apple. Thank you...

That's the way I see it, too, Jeff. Thank you for your thoughts.

Laughter is certainly the best medicine Lin, we need more of it with all the doom and gloom at the moment. Good luck in the contest. Tom

Good morning and thanks, Tom. Laughter is needed in our lives more and more each day. I'm trying to get things posted before I sail away.
