This is good and so true. When we are anxious and feel that the world is closing in on us, if someone can find something amusing to thing about and have a reason for a heart laugh, the anxiety start to slowly leak away.

    I laugh all the time, since crying requires tissues.

Oh yes, quite often we hear nervous laughter, leaking into the conversation, I wonder how much is nervousness and how much is genuine participation, beautifully written, good luck, blessings Roy

I think this was a great poem for the 15 syllable poem contest. You got the syllable count right, and I thought your message was great. They say laughter is the best medicine. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

The strain of being on a battlefront does not allow much room for hilarity. Anything that elicits laughter has to be more than welcome. Even though brief, the opportunity to grab a laugh is always to be celebrated.

    I told jokes all the time in Beirut. Of course, I didn't know what kind of danger I was in.

I enjoyed this so much because I haven't hd a good...er...oh, yeah, LAUGH in a long time. Fifteen syllables that were put to good use!! When I get anxious, I can't sleep. Unfortunately, those moments aren't so funny.

An excellent entry for the 15 syllable poem contest. This is so powerful and true and stated in a mere fifteen syllables! Laughter dispels the stress of anxiety and gives our brain and body a much needed break. Nicely done.

Yes Bill, laughter can and will slip through the narrowest of cracks in our lives.

With troubled feelings, laughter will help resolve the issues.
