Poems about Laughing – 10 Poems that Prove Happiness is a Medicine

Poems about laughing will prove to you that laughter is a medicine, if not the best medicine.

Talk about how humor, even in the worst of times, will help us persevere.

Humor, in human make-up rather than anything else, can afford an aloofness and the desire to rise above any circumstance, even if only for a few seconds.

1. Title: “Suicide in the Trenches”

Once knew a soldier, simple and free,
Grinning at life in empty glee.
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
Whistled early with the lark.

In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
Crumps and lice, lack of rum.
He chose to end his pain,
No one spoke of him again.

Smug-faced crowds, kindling eye,
Cheer when soldier lads march by.
Sneak home and pray you’ll never know,
The hell where youth and laughter go.

Amidst the cheers and fleeting pride,
A soldier’s struggles we can’t hide.
Behind the masks, unseen woe,
The scars of battles that silently grow.

2. Title: “O Gather Me the Rose”

Gather me the rose, the rose,
In its bloom, before it’s closed.
Summer smiles, yet soon it goes,
Winter waits, as time bestows.

Dreams foregone, a deed untold,
Regret’s worm cankers, takes hold.
Time won’t turn, the past to mend,
Cherish love, let laughter blend.

Love well, my love, defy the dark,
Hide fate’s shadows with a spark.
Above, below, the moments we share,
In sunshine, in the swallows’ air.

Myrtle, rose, in memories twine,
Sunshine, swallow, dreams align.
What comes, what goes, in time’s soft flow,
Embrace the moments, let memories grow.

3. Title: “The Last Laugh”

One day, my half-brother Eric,
From Oklahoma, paid us a visit.
He carried fake vomit,
To see whose reactions he could illicit!

Near my grandma, he took a stance,
He heaved and dropped it on the floor.
Laughter erupted at her shocked face,
From a giggle, escalating to a roar!

Soon, she was sweeping it away,
Tossed it in the trash with a grin.
Despite our protests, “It’s not real!”
She shuffled off, wearing a mischievous grin!

In the aftermath of the prank,
Family memories forever to thank.
Eric’s visit, a tale to retell,
In the joyous echoes that laughter can swell.

4. Title: “Four Things”

Wiser to know four things, I decree:
Idleness, sorrow, friend, and a foe to see.
Better without four, my candid shout:
Love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt.

Three forever beyond my grasp:
Envy, enough champagne to clasp.
Three until death, under the sky:
Laughter, hope, and a sock in the eye.

In life’s tapestry, wisdom woven fine,
Idleness and sorrow, threads that intertwine.
Foes and friends, dance on life’s stage,
A balanced act, from youth to old age.

Through the journey, laughter rings clear,
Hope and a sock in the eye, we hold dear.
Four and three, a life’s playful rhyme,
A moments symphony, a dance through time.

5. Title: “Sing a Song”

Sing a victory song,
Heart, once full of cries, strong.
Laughter can replace a tear,
A melody drowns despair near.

Sing of unwavering truth,
God, ever vigilant, in sooth.
With confidence, raise a hymn,
In His care, our spirits swim.

Sunlight dispels the shadow’s reign,
Healthful thoughts vanquish gloom’s pain.
Good cheer and courage bloom,
In the heart, dispelling the gloom.

Sing a victory song, all in tune,
Faith’s melody transforms night soon.
Life’s symphony, a bright boon,
Turning darkness to day’s full noon.

6. To Laugh Or Not to Laugh

Laugh at me or laugh with me,
It’s really up to you.
I prefer the latter,
It’s the ‘funner’ thing to do!

Is it funny or is it not?
Depends on how you see.
But, a little bit of laughter
Can fill a room with glee!

Text someone an ‘lol’,
Or simply say ‘haha!’
Either way, you’ll make ’em smile
Instead of ‘wah, wah, wah!’

So try a little laughter,
And do it right away!
It’s sure to change your outlook,
And brighten up your day!

7. Title: “I Love a Laugh”

I cherish a laugh, wild and gay,
Springing from the well of emotion’s play.
It unveils a heart, joyous and bright,
A celebration of pure delight.

I cherish a laugh, wild and gay:
Why dwell forever in sorrow’s sway?
Wearing a face so sad and hollow,
Dreading the uncertainties of tomorrow?

A laugh, a gift to a world that could be,
A place of joy, not dreary,
Where hearts connect, in shared delight,
Conveying pleasures, both day and night.

So, frown not at a wild, gay laugh,
Embrace the merry-hearted’s craft.
A cheerful heart and a smiling face,
Should never be estranged, in any case.

8. Title: “Grin, Grin, Grin”

A hearty laugh sweeps away the blues,
It’s our choice, the power to choose.
Feeling better is a simple cue,
With a good laugh, tried and true.

Seek a reason to laugh each day,
Prevent the gray from coming your way.
Don’t stifle it within,
Laugh, grin, grin, begin!

Laughter’s magic, a joyful spell,
Banishing gloom, making hearts swell.
Choose mirth over a somber spin,
In every laugh, let happiness win.

Life’s journey is lighter with a cheer,
A laughter echo for all to hear.
So, find your joy, let it spin,
Laugh, grin, grin, within.

9. Title: “Laughter“

A touch of laughter,
A hint of tears,
A sprinkle of happiness,
A dash of fears.

They say laughter’s healing grace,
It’s alright to shed a tear’s embrace.
Happiness, a splendid emotion,
And fear, a strength devotion.

Savor the laughter,
Let the tears flow,
Embrace the happiness,
Let go of fears’ shadow.

In life’s canvas, colors blend,
Moments of joy and sorrow, transcend.
With each emotion, a tale unfolds,
In the tapestry of life, memories hold.

10. Title: “Make Me Giggle, U Make Me Laugh“

You make me giggle, you make me laugh,
Bring all that’s mine in life’s behalf.
Inject joy, drown my pain,
Shelter from life’s pouring rain.

You make me laugh, make me giggle,
In my eyes, joyous twiggles.
All I desire, all I aspire,
Found in you, my heart’s fire.

You make me ride on wings of the wind,
Songs before me, long to sing.
Night school teacher, nightmare reliever,
You are my joy, my life’s retriever.

In the tapestry of time, our laughter weaves,
A symphony of joy, our bond achieves.
With every moment, our connection grows,
In your presence, life’s beauty glows.

Always remember a smile will not only make you feel better but your smile could also change someone else’s day.

We all know the benefits of smiling and laughter. When we look at children they don’t hold back, they smile and laugh. We need to never lose that feeling.
