Laughter
By: Miriam Waddington

We are light
as dandelion
parachutes we land anywhere
take the shape of whereever we fall

we are often the size of
grasshoppers in a jungle of grass
or we’re squirmy chains of willow catkins

then we become curly seashells knobby little
swimmers ina sea of air lying

on our backs our eyes fly up higher than kites
airplanes clouds winds higher than star and we stare plown
at the little distant world and we laugh laugh laugh
What is the mood of this poem? what words and images help reveal the poem’s mood? What language in this poem appeals to your senses? Is there a simile or metaphor used to compare dissimiar things? Why do you like this poem?
