How effortless it’s to wiggle between tree line
where critter jiggles from oaks onto pines;
till somber, slate storm cloud wriggles and whines.
Wayward giggles lost among leafy vines.
Staggered squiggles of peace with worn twine;
as low-spirited heart may sorrow till morning shines.
“Even in laughter the heart may sorrow…” Proverbs 14:13 Over at dVerse it’s all about giggles.
A very fine poem.

There’s something slightly daft about all those words you’ve added to rhyme with ‘giggles’: squiggles, wriggles, wiggles, jiggles. I wonder what it is?

The world can seem cruel, moving on without noticing, when we’re filled with sorrow and loneliness. A sad state of affairs.

I think that such laughter heard with a heavy heart might make it worse.
