Joy is barefoot tingle-
fleshed; a trickleburst of
woodwind, strings and icicles.
Joy is melt of snow
the eavesdropping of water,
gigglebrooks and bloom.
Joy is fireskin and itch,
your eager harpsichord,
my heartbeat orchestra.
Joy is bubblegrins and spring,
it’s pink in blue
it’s goosebumps/you

I love it when you write happy poems, especially when they feature ‘gigglebrooks’, ‘bubblegrins’ and a ‘heartbeat orchestra’ :o)
This poem is so beautiful and the ending is perfection.
Such a joyful and happy note. I feel like spring is here and I am grinning ear to ear.
Such a happy poem, and it really reminded me of spring. Wonderful.
What a lovely lilt to this one, Bjorn. You left us happy!

Joy is fireskin and itch,
your eager harpsichord,
my heartbeat orchestra.
Joy is everything that binds two souls together accompanied with lots
of music.

Joy is many things and goosebumps.
THIS is joy!
I like the trickleburst and eavesdropping, hinting at a naughty playfulness even the elements can catch.
Joy is another thing, that comes quietly, without notice, a hum in your chest, and you don’t even know it is there. But there is is. I enjoyed your write.
I love your joy in the celebration of language and words – how you fashion such delightful mixes that stimulate all the senses! Exceptionally creative and absolutely wonderful to just sip these essences.
A great ode to joy…..it goosebumps you👏👏👏
Gave me joy..and a few goodebumps! Love this!
Full of joy……melt of snow … eavesdropping of water…loved it.
Love this! trickleburst! gigglebrooks! How wonderful! 🙂
I loved your orchestration of “Ode to Joy!!” the bubblefaced grin does it every time!

Wonderful! Love the little ‘pops’ of storybook words in a poem, that is a word-potion for JOY!

Gigglebrooks and bubblegrins – such fun.
Luscious and delightful.
