Joy

What is this feeling? My heart leaps when he speaks. The beat quickens, And inside I'm quivering. The angels smile, And cupid cheers, "Joy! Joy! Joy!" Love lives here. By: Carole O'Terry Duet Copyright: 2017 "All Rights Reserved"

If Johann Sebastian Bach were alive today, he would be inspired to write music after reading this short and sweet piece.

this is very cute, Carole. AT first I thought it was for the pleiades contest and then realized you were simply doing a lovely free verse on JOY

P.S. I don't write for contests. I just write and if it fits into a contest, I enter.
