The sound of an infant’s laughter…
Generates a visceral felicity, a mirthful merriment
It detonates an invisible levity device buried deep within
It penetrates, a medicinal lotion that heals and fixes
It decorates miserable grey with myriads of hues and tints
It saturates the air with liberal, outrageous, contagious bliss
…that’s what the sound of an infant’s laughter does
This was in response to the “Poetic Visions” prompt by Christine Graves found at
@ 2022, Rob Dods
This was a quick one, I didn’t have much time this week. My focus was on internal rhyme and alliteration. The prompt is actually “The Sound of Child’s Laughter”, but to me, there is something even more extraordinary in an infant’s laughter.
