Doubling

Double the word and you change meaning.
Coo is a lovely sound from a bird.
Coocoo the voice of some screaming
to be heard above that mad word.

Haha a sound uttered in derision
when backsides face the storm.
Grunting over indecision.
Only heehaws stillborn.

But wewe’s a warmer story.
Society ending as one.
Percolating inside glory
the golden stream sprays the sun.
