Hummingbird Laughter Sam Love

"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?
