WHAT IS JOY?* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is joy? It’s a dance in your socks, a giggle that slips from a box. It’s ice cream at noon, and a silly cartoon, or finding a stash of old rocks! *Note: I originally posted this poem on June 27, 2025, but later deleted it(www.poetrysoup.com › poem › what_is_joy_1742167). This is my original poem and not a plagiarized one.

I love to dance in my socks - Dancing till everything rocks - A wiggle a day - Keeps bulges at bay - So that I can fit in my frocks…… Beryl
