Theme : Word - Laughology
First of all - Yes laughology is an officially recognized word.
It means to bring out - Laughter's role in Human connection and development. Popularized by corporates in team building activities and training.
So, we'd like you to write a poem such that it makes one laugh. OR you may simply use the word in reference to an episode, person or place.
The meaning must make sense in the context it is used. We have observed, that a lot of submissions are using the word randomly just to meet the requirement, wherein the poem doesn't make any sense - such entries will be declined. Write a poem on the theme. We believe its a broad spectrum theme. A poem which just brought the pen in your hand and you wrote it down.
The book is a collection of prose poems
