 Laughter: a fold poem

Laugh at the night, at the day, at the moon,

For laughter needs no reason

Laugh for you know not soon

The time to be serious comes

All her funny shaping laugh at the moon,

She lingers she hides 

She can make a lover's heart swoon

Laughter clears the eyes to see

Tomorrow is merely a disc and a spoon

Running away into imagination

So don't be afraid to laugh even at the moon,
