giggle – Poetry for Change

Review for my double acrostic poem, BELLY LAUGHS POP

Thank you both for your critique. Your support is highly appreciated.

BELLY LAUGHS POP
(Double Accrostic)

Bellow, bleat, blather, blow, bloB,
Every laugh’s absurdity is in somE
Lanky’s lair making him squirm and waiL
Laughing while his belly will lolL …
Yelling, chortling, snickers all gigglY.

Lively tunes rhythmically lulL
As you take a breath and rise, A
Universal communication in perdU
Glorying in its transience that belonG
Here to help you revere each laugH
Simply to make you feel younger, and haS

Princely returns, for you to droP
Over reality into a world where chortling’s toO
Powerful to be beat by a slumP.

Diploma Certificate for my poem, Giggle’s Memory

Thank you, administrators, for the honor and your hard work.

Giggle’s Memory

A smile, a laugh, a memory, a thought,
All coalesce into memorable visions,
Sounds that light up your darkest thought.

My baby’s laughter as a child, adult now,
Continues to not only brighten my days
But also is an effective antidepressant taking a bow.

As the memory of her tinkling laugh
Spreads an inner peace in my breast,
I fall back into envisioning the day she was born. Enough

Time has passed, but her musical
Laugh has evolved from giggle
To full blown belly laughs that bubble

But never pop as her optimism
Isn’t a prop, rather its centered in faith,
Bound by our love that enveloped her in grim

Strength to suppress all that can
Depress. She rises above difficulties
With a smile that shines like the moon
On foggy, oppressive raven black, nights

That simply disperse as her laugh lights
The sky with power of brightness
That never dims in all the time it casts.
