Gail Debole Poet Rhyme

Slivers of Laughter

By Gail DeBole
Updated January 13, 2019

Thin shards of time spattered about 
Mis-wedged into spaces that add to our doubt.

Echoes of time vex and puzzle our souls
May overlap boundaries with science unknown.

Slivers of a girl’s laughter with no girl around
Sound disturbingly eerie and deeply profound.

Paul Callus January 31, 2023 at 9:24 AM This certainly makes me think of a haunted house, Gail; indeed eerie, though I suspect in this case we have a friendly ghost! ~ Best regards // paul Gail Debole January 31, 2023 at 2:07 PM Paul, Thank you for your feedback. Yes, maybe a haunted house has some spaces stuck in other times? Something to think about... - Gail

David Mchattie October 1, 2019 at 8:36 PM Being a fan of History allows me some peace of mind as events unfold. Nothing is new. Just people doing the same old crap and hoping for a different outcome. Have a great day my friend. Gail Debole October 2, 2019 at 5:23 AM Thank you for letting me know how you connected with this poem. Hope you have a good day.

Chantelle Smith January 14, 2019 at 2:38 AM Wow Gail, this is super. Laughter is a good medicine. Gail Debole January 14, 2019 at 9:29 AM Thanks for stopping by...agree that laughter is good medicine except that I am not so sure it is when in an eerie situation that cannot be rationally explained. Have a good day.
