The Laughing Girl

© 2016 by P Michael Biggs












There once was a girl
She was pretty as a show girl
She would swirl and twirl
Her curls

There once was a boy
In love with this girl
He found moments of joy
Watching the girl with curls

Her laughter was delightful
And he was frightful
That if he spoke
His voice would croak

And so he listened
To her laughter of gold
He fell in love
If the truth be told
With her lovely laughter
So good to behold

He wanted to spend
His life to the end
Answering that one question
Her laughter began


This poem is based on a quote
by Nicole Krauss from
The History of Love
