I think that the poem is a good one. I think that it is all about how the main character hide her pain or how she keep living, surviving without losing control of herself and her emotions. I think it's how she use laughter or happiness to survive and surpass the pain. I think that she and the other person in the poem have an argument about it. Maybe that person doesn't want her to keep the pain inside her or to keep the pain all by herself. I think the other person is her love one who is just caring so much for her that he does not want to see her in pain. I think that person is the only reason why the girl can still survive the pain and sadness but for me, keeping the pain and sadness within oneself is not being courageous or strong because sometimes sharing it to other people can ease the pain and maybe they can help you with the problem. Keeping the pain inside within oneself is also very dangerous because pain can cause death, maybe emotional, psychological and worse is physical or natural death.
I think the poem is really a very good one especially the title "laughter", when you only read the title you would think of it as a happy poem but not all the title speaks as loud as we feel when we read the whole poem. For me good poems are like great movies. Great movies for me are those with the good title and a great twist of events and actions, great movies that make me very excited and makes me think what will happen next, great movies that shows the unexpected and unbelievable but great things.
For me, the poem LAUGHTER is like a hard puzzle to solve because like I said earlier when you only read the title you would think of it as a happy poem but when you read it as a whole it is very different. For me, good poems are those with great mysteries and untold stories and I think that her poem is a very real and truthful story and she is very transparent to share us her poem.
