Best Laughs Poems

Look around,embrace life,smile,
Even if it's only once in a while,
Gods' world,acres of entertainment,
Learn to laugh,enjoy your environment,
Umbrellas out,the birds are soaring,
Two parrots pecking,so adoring,
The king of water,angry river roaring,
Water racing each other,raindrops pouring,
Snake shaking his rattler,rumba girls luring,
Woodpecker sharing knock,knock jokes,ohh so boring,
Visa-card in his...

THE DUMB BLONDE 

Our dumb blonde leader is a total buffoon
Living in cloud cuckoo land in his cocoon
His party's starved our N. H. S. 
Now the country is in a mess 
Thinks the flu virus will be over real soon... 

OUR CRACKPOT GOVERNMENT 

They wanted...

Sitting opposite one another atop elateds springtide shore; the moon trickling down 
These beams of light and messaline the ribbon within, her flowing red hair; flames...
Redolent this moment, as bare aneath the stars a thrashing in our heart's; melodies
Crashing their waves while my love she...

Morose feelings do sashay
  Take with you those clouds away

Beckon sunshine through the day
  No sad thoughts allowed today

All fun tidings do convey
  Naught but belly laughs all day

“Now behind the eyes and secrets of the dreamers in the streets rocked to sleep by the sea, see the titbits and topsyturvies, bobs and buttontops, bags and bones, ash and rind and dandruff and nailparings, saliva and snowflakes and moulted feathers of dreams, the...

The encoding quill of most men
Will publish sometimes and again 
It seems it can think
And does things with its ink
A pen_is is almost a pen...

I once knew a poet named Broken Wings,
And onto comments sweet and nice, she clings;

At times, some meanness visits,
She just laughs at those critics,

Because she wins, and her poetry sings !

Love Laughs

Love laughs at each and all
As with the heart it plays
Entreating you to fall
In subtle succinct ways

The whisper in the ear
That little nothingness
Sly messages unclear
Invade the subconscious

It uses every ruse
In its little book
Leaves you  vital clues
Entices you to look

You like what you are...

The mirror laughs

When Peg laughs like Liz
deep woman-hearted laugh
eating beef jerky on Mesa Verde

the good hearts and smarts of women
come back to me, not guessing
any better than they at the time what love

meant, leaving them behind in sandstone time
going to my own cement, sandstone
or good mountain grave

having...

There once was a man who took issue
With using his sleeve as a tissue
Handkerchiefs hadn't any
And head colds too many
Could not blow his schnoz if he wished to!...

All the laughs and smiles ...
All the tears and lies ...
Those are what makes us alive ...
All the love we share ...
When we use to really care ...
Those are what makes us survive ...
But now it's gone, we have ain't nothing ...
When I look to...

Limericks inspired by Linda Fowler’s Limerick -  Hindsight

Pot-poetry

We've had many laughs in PoetrySoup
That lift weary hearts when they start to droop
Laughters a freebie
A sure guarantee
Sup from the soup and enjoy a good whoop. 

Laughters infectious, it flows oversea
Different nations writing poetry
Yet all in one...

Here and Hereafter
by Michael R. Burch

Life’s saving graces are love, pleasure, laughter ...
wisdom, it seems, is for the Hereafter.



Laughter’s Cry
by Michael R. Burch

Because life is a mystery, we laugh
and do not know the half.

Because death is a mystery, we cry
when one is gone, our numbering...
