Those Little Laughs Poem by Elliott Rosenberg

Those Little Laughs



If ever there was a lark,
who wore spectacles at dark,
then put his eyeballs in a jar,
just for laughs and applause.

A titter for a snicker,
a chuckle for a chortle,
Turns ripples to pickles,
Till papa said "son your making to much noise".

Then silence befell,
tomfoolery begone,
our tempest wine became brine,
except for those little laughs that ramble on.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I sit silently next to a pool. There is a little boy playing ball with his father. The sister looks on. The boy says father "catch! " The boy knock the father on his left temple. The boy laughs, the sister begins to giggle. The echo of every splash fills the room with the spectacle of a great orchestra. The blue ball arches as a comet over my head. My lss is uplifted. I have been inducted to their game.
And so I wrote December 9th,2018 at White Bear Lake, Minnesota as the little boy says "good catch daddy! ".
