So freaking true! Try holding in laughter during a prayer when there's no way you should be laughing and I'm telling ya, it just comes out in a big way!

Comment from NadineM
This is so funny! Love the picture which inspired this poem! Sawyer is adorable and takes the best pictures!! I must agree with your message about laughter, giggles and chuckles. It's rather funny how they MUST be released! They do add up and make you feel like you're bursting... hopefully they're let out when our mouths are empty of food or drink as this can be a messy time!
Your poem is well-written and I would assume written with a huge smile on your face!! Don't blame you! Sawyer inspires happiness, joy and laughter!
Good rhyming and use of alliteration. Very vivid imagery throughout. Thanks for sharing this with me.

When they said the eyes don't lie, neither does a giggle. Giggles are as innocent as laughter. Children do the best giggling before that terrible disease, adulthood creeps into their bodies. Wonderful rhyming. A fun read. Les

I thought this poem was delightful, as yours always are. The rhyming is perfect, read aloud or silently. I don't know how you do it. Congratulations on another lovely, rhythmic poem for children. I'll bet Sawyer loves it!

The giggle and we've all experienced it--infectious and can't be subdued. Sometimes it can cause embarrassment if it occurs in a public place. But the best place for unhindered giggles is with family and close friends. Well done, Brooke.

Good Morning, Brooke
I always enjoy reading your children's poems. This one was such a fun read. Reading it transported me back about 25 years.
Your signature meter and rhyme are perfect. The enjambment is perfect and allows for a smooth flow of thought and message. You've inject the right amount of humor.
Well done, my talented friend.
Ray

Comment from pheonix55
This is a great poem, it has a good concept, good rhythm it rhymes. And it is true giggles just pop up, and you cant hold them back. but giggles are good for you. i like the last line best " I didn't invite it, but once it showed up,
that giggle would not keep quiet,
and though you may think I'm clearly to blame,
I'm telling you, I deny it!"
Keep up the great writings.

Hi Brooke,
LOL - another delightful poem you've got here. Uninvited giggles can be most embarrassing at funerals and such. They call in nervous laughter.
Hugs,
Lou

Well, girl, you almost got me giggling.
Of course, I'm way too macho for that sort of thing.
A couple of special rhymes here: pursuing/undoing, and
quiet/deny it.
Your usual stellar stuff, Brooke.
Peace, Lee

Sawyer is getting more and more handsome. The poem complements his photo very well. Giggles do come out and you can't keep them in:)
