This is in response to the prompt Friday Writings #226: Inappropriate Laughter
In the school assembly line,
as the message of the day was read,
she remembered something funny.
In the silent classroom,
while the lesson moved on,
a dog chased its tail in her mind.
When friends grieved a defeat,
old jokes somehow returned.
They made her giggle in place of tears.
At a candlelit dinner,
her partner shared his troubles,
an awkward kiss brought a smile.
That mind no longer wanders.
Somewhere along the long road,
strange things happen to us all.
Indeed they do ~ I enjoyed your reflective poem. Helen
