 The Poetry of David Hart

''The Laughing Mirror''  by  David Hart


Gaze into the wrinkled laughing mirror.
A wrinkled mirror that giggles at
Life's trials.

Awash in convoluted musing
Amidst reflections of birds flying by
A soft chimney's white puffs tickling a savvy sky

Astraea stands, chabouk in hand
Surrounded by the cheeky chirm of birds
Swimming in the wet bluing sky

The chattering ado clammering outside
Joyously battering all my
Bleak thoughts awry

Vocabulary: Astraea-goddess of Justice; chabouk-a long whip used in the middle East to inflict punsihment; cheeky-impertinently bold/impudent and saucy; chirm-noise/din
