The poem about your laugh

When you laugh it is all the unsynchronized clocks

in the watchmaker's shop

striking their dissident hours.

It is six blind kittens having the nipples plucked

from their mouths.

It is the ecstatic susurrus of prayer wheels.

When you laugh innumerable

pine trees shed their needles at once on one side

of the forest, indefinably altering the ecosystem.

A thousand miles away

two sharks lose their taste for blood,

mate, start a new species.

When you laugh your mouth

is the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky

and I can curl up there among the bats

intercepting their sonar.

Oh, your mouth is a diver's bell;

it takes me down untold fathoms.

And when you laugh, old dogs limp

to new patches of sunlight

which they bury for later, knowing something

about need.

Susan Glickman

The poem about your laugh is a poem where as its name says the author wants to show how laughter can affect us in different ways and in different scenarios, she uses many symbolisms and metaphors to express her ideas, this way we can visualize more easily what she wants to transmit. 

In the first stanzas she shows how even though things are not going well or not going as planned, laughter can always transform everything. In the next stanza she shows that despite changes and new beginnings laughter is still there to comfort us. In the last stanzas she talks about how laughter even without justification is necessary to make life more enjoyable.

To conclude, I think the author wants to show us the importance of a little laughter in our lives, despite the problems despite the bad things, we should have the ability to laugh every chance we get, because this could even change the course of the situations we live or are about to live.
