Hummingbird Laughter

"Hummingbird Laughter is really a hoot. You have a great sense of humor, no small thing in poetry where everybody is VERY serious. I'm still laughing at some of the poems." -- Peter Makuck, Distinguished Professor Emeritus at East Carolina University In Hummingbird Laughter Sam Love offers some poems to trigger smiles and cogitation about modern society's absurdities. In this over-stimulated fast-paced society you don't hear the word cogitate any more. What a pity because it means to think deeply about something; meditate or reflect. We're so busy there is no time for it. Now only rebels and misfits cogitate. Here are some of the questions Sam contemplates in the poems: -Can "Velcro Dog" provide human singles dating tips from dog rescue ads? -What are the "Side Effects" of a drug called Utopia? -Are Native American spirits in "Karmic Revenge" smiling because we are so divorced from the natural world? -Does the spirit of a place where rivers merge, like New Bern, attract beleaguered souls? -Can "Restoring Consciousness" convince us to celebrate the off switch? -Does "Aliens" reveal the truth about how they are watching us?
