"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?"
