PAD Challenge day 23: For today’s prompt, take the phrase “When (blank),” replace the blank
with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and
then write the poem.
When children laugh it seems to me
That heaven bends its bars
To lend a glimpse of what will be
Beyond these earthy wars
The air is like a flower-storm
And warm with stars and smiles
As Innocence in purest form
Each somber soul beguiles
It teases from glum, time-warped face
Creases of gladsome grin
It kisses sorrow with God’s grace
And lets life’s sunshine in
When children laugh it seems to me
That heaven cracks its doors
To let us glimpse things heavenly
While on time’s earthy shores
