Laughter Poem by Les Derbyshire

Laughter



More than the bubble and swirl of a stream
That finds humour in its rush
From source to the sea;
Faster than flurry of leaves
Dancing and playing and courting
Loosed from the tree;
Lighter than sun-sparks flashing on glass
Splashing out liquid colours
Abundant and free;
I love to hear the laughter of strangers
Caught up in the humour of life
No longer strangers to me.

This is a wonderful poem. Gives the reader an insight that you are a people person who observes life and feels happy for others - you find unity in their happines and that's a great trait to have. Bravo! !

A beautiful thought provoking piece. Imagery often makes a poem, as it is imagery in poet eloquence that stands a poem out from others. This is a succinct and arty read. Thanks for posting. Steve
