4th Post- Analysis on "Laughter" by Maningning Miclat

For me, this is a good poem. Its title is Laughter but when you read the whole stanza, you will

know that this is just an irony.This is about the hidden sadness of the speaker, who is Maningning, to the guy that he loved. The laughter here represents the girl's sadness and sorrow because the guy left her.

I think in order for her to forget the sadness, she just laugh. The guy told him to forget their

memories maybe because in time he will leave. Only in the poem she can saved those memories and

make the readers feel the same way as she felt. And the guy left her without knowing what does

the laughter for her was. And that's the saddest part. ='[
