Those who Hate the Laughter - poem c/c?
The starving one accepts not food
It's not what he is after
The hating one loves most to hate
And hates the sound of laughter
The soulless one seeks not a God
Since he has no soul to save
The insane one seeks not help
Sanity is in his rave
The fearless one seeks not shadow
Nor concerns what others say
But the coward seeks to hide
From the light of any day
The coward is the starving man
A hater hating laughter
He is the soulless insane one
It's happiness he's after
But not, of course, for himself
But to take yours 'way from you
And satiates his vile needs
For that's what the haters do.
God Bless You BG!! I have laid eyes on your BEST!
You start off. 8,7,8,7 Why change?
I see it like this:-
The starving one accepts not food
It's not what he is after
The hating one loves most to hate
And hates the sound of laughter
The soulless one seeks not a God
Since he has no soul to save
The insane one seeks no help
Sanity becomes his rave
The fearless one seeks no shadow
Nor concerns what others say
But the coward will seek to hide
From the light of any day
The coward is the starving man
A hater hating laughter
He is the soulless insane one
Yet happiness he's after
He will not seek it for himself
But try to take yours away
And satiates his vile needs
For all haters behave that way.

you know, this reminds me of my mom... and i wish that i was joking. but sadly no. i think it was well written, very true and everyone can take meaning from it and that's what i think makes a poem great. although, for me it hits a little too close to home but i like it all the same. would love to read more from you.
when laughter haters slaughter the laughs
heat hot coals of fire, and hand em a draught
I like the ending with less syllables, puts more
"umph" in the moral of the telling
a most excellent write BG!

I love this and rate it highly,
for 1- so many people can relate
2- it's descriptive and conjurs up real images
3- your use of language is kept simple making it easy for anyone to read and ponder over
well done
