That Laugh

April 5, 2016 By Chris Baldauf 4 Comments

April is National Poetry Month!

To honor the event I’m posting a poem a week for the month of April.

Check out www.poets.org and have some fun.

 

The Laugh

Something was said.

Something funny.

I heard her laugh,

so clear the sound.

Mom? I turned to look,

that laugh—its ME.

 

That was funny.

I still recall

that laugh I heard.

A memory sweet

I turned to look, but

she’s been gone ten years.
