Laughter by Maningning Miclat

A little background of Maningning Miclat..

She was born in Beijing, China to both Filipino parents. She published her first book of poems entitled Wo De Shi in Mandarin, and held her first solo show of traditional Chinese painting, Maningning: An Exhibit of Chinese Brush Works.

In 2000, at the age of 28, she jumped from the seventh floor of Far Eastern University where she was teaching at the time. In 2001, the Maningning Foundation was founded in memory of her to celebrate the talents of young artists both visual and written.

Analysis of her poem Laughter..

Her poem, Laughter reflected the life she had. Though she had many struggles in life, she still tried to be happy; she wants to keep those memories, and tried to feel happy. She wanted to share her pain and painful memories through her poems, but sad on the storyline of her poem Laughter, the man she was sharing her life and painful memories with left her without even understanding her.
