Cackle
...poetry or prose...
Cackle!
I have a rather funny laugh
some say it’s quite the cackle
occasionally there is a snort
(which raises hubby’s hackles)
my laugh is loud
my smile is too
I could frown
and sometimes do
I could cry
I do that, too
but I’d much rather
not be blue
I prefer to laugh
till tears do fall
life’s much more fun
when I recall
the laughter, the fun
the days in the sun
the rain or the snow
it’s all great, you know
so I cackle and chuckle
and chortle and titter
and giggle too much
and avoid being bitter
I hope to spread a little joy
to those I meet each day
helping them (and me as well)
keep thunder clouds at bay.
