Laughter Poems - Poems about Laughter

Our pleasure is political Our presence anarchy Our smile a rebellion Our hair A revolution Our blood our fire Our blackness A force to be reckoned with Our joy to them is a declaration of war Our resilience an act of political warfare Our resilience a threat to the system of oppression they built They don't like when we take...

Gratitude, a mental notion, The soul’s healing potion A daily habit, a practice so true Seeding joy and peace anew. With thankful heart and focused mind, A world of blessings our heart to divine. Every moment, major or minor, Is a chance to make the practice finer Sunrise, sunset, or firmament of stars, Laughter, tears, even healing scars. The birds that sing and clouds that...

I thought at your fiftieth we would make up, I saved every drop to buy you a new Ford. Your Royce is still sweet, but it needs a backup— Not a Lincoln, a Mustang I could afford. But you threw the keys back at me in fury, You let your friends mock me with horrid laughter. On our disputes, you turned...

Soft blue wind blows cottony clouds In them I look for beloved’s face Love never dies but bodies transition Energy from one place to the unknown Never can say goodbye Cherish the memories and laughter Even when the silence is so loud...

You tried to lead me (surely) by the hand across the shallows but we were both too drunk and the stones too slick so we slid stumbling and laughing, falling toward each other all the way across and upriver (rocks bruising our feet) until we were concealed by the night. We held each other close in the dark noisy water that swirled lovingly over our skin like a mother’s...

All together, let us do the chicken splash, Seeing how pink-orange sun never lasts. Don't fight it, red stars are coming soon; Like the ducks, let dive in stormy lagoon! Through maroon monsoon, we all dance, splashing and laughing, in silver romance. Steel blue skies, cluck cluck. Run amuck! If still seeking that rainbow, best of luck. Hopscotch through puddles, sepia splash. We let...

Three Months with You Three months ago, you came into my days, With laughter like sunlight and gentle ways, Since then the hours have danced in your glow, And time with you has taken it slow. Three months of smiles, of stories and touch, Of learning each other, of feeling so much, You’ve turned simple moments into sweet art, And carved out a...

When we were still kids Each day comes with it's ecstasy Steadily playing at night During the full moon Right there we share our dreams Telling different stories Without hate, envy or jealousy Love, laughter, sharing without greed all we knew. Our dreams, our inspiration Always aspiring with conviction Even amidst restrictions We keep dreaming without limitations...

I. Sighting I saw you through refracted light- a prism of chance splitting ordinary into spectrum. Wind-tangled hair terra cotta and rosemary beneath your nails the scent of soil and citrus on your skin. You carried mysteries-living things I wanted to cradle. I didn’t find you- you found...

A senator, keen on a bill's every clause, Said, "This hearing, we'll find all the flaws!" With questions so sharp, He'd make witnesses carp, Then tripped on his notes, to loud, shocked applause. ©bfa032125 ...

Amber, crimson, golden light, A painter's dream, a wondrous sight. The autumn wind, a whispered song, Where rustling leaves all dance along. The Equinox, a fleeting spell, Its blessings cast, its stories tell. In fleeting hues, the trees bestow, A fleeting fire before the snow. The branches...

With eagerness I make my way to my favorite place Where gratitude floats freely above every head Where happiness is the coverlet that embraces each bed Where laughter is contagious and strikes the young and old Where love is a daily garment that adorns every soul Where joy is a feather that nudges all to soar Where the house of contentment...
