LAUGHTER by Maningning Miclat

(source:ABOUT MANINGNING.Web.24 July 2009.[http://www.maningning.com/home.htm].)


This poem is an example of ironic poem. At the first stanza, the boy she is addressing to, left her, but she is courageous, she laugh, laugh and laughed; until he totally left her. Laughter ironically represents the girl's sadness and sorrow because the boy totally leave.

2nd stanza:However, before he left her, he begged the girl to forget everything about him. Maybe the boy is preparing her for his total absence. And the girl did so.

3rd Stanza:Unfortunately, everything she experienced and felt to the boy's departure, was saved and written to the poems she made. That's why, she and all the readers will feel what she felt before. But maybe she don't want to totally forget the boy, because she love him so much.

4th Stanza:This poem is really ironic, because she said that the mood of the poems she writes is sad, but she's laughing. At this part she's now reminiscing the times she's with the boy, their happy moments. As she is remembering those sweet moments, she felt sad and disappointed with their current status.

5th Stanza:At this part, the girl maybe suffering to some big problem or obstacle. Because she gets her strength to the boy. But she used the word "maybe", because she knew not all relationships ends happily ever after.

6th Stanza:The boy don't want to talk to her anymore and not happy with her company,in fact, he ignored her. Maybe because the boy saw other things that captures his attention, maybe another girl?

7th Stanza:And at this part, the boy totally left her. Maybe his patience is finally gone and he don't love the girl anymore. I just want to clarify that the 1st stanza was used to introduce or give us a hint on what the poem is all about, and on the succeeding lines, she was narrating their relationship before and its comparison to their current status.

8th Stanza:So after the boy left, that's the time he understand why the girl is kept on laughing. It's because of him, he is her life, her strength, and the reason to keep moving and to fight against all the odds.
