don’t let anyone steal your joy give it away




ODE TO JOY (WEEK)


Well it was fun  doing the acronym thing with PEACE   And now it’s time to  roll right  into JOY.

Just like in real life—what ever “real” is—and in Scrabble “JOY”  is sometimes hardship to  come by and catchy little  phrases didn’t just  pop into. My head nearly as  quickly as I  might have hoped.  Then again , just because something is easy doesn’t mean it’s any good—but anyway... no more. Excuses... here’s Joy Week 2020  So EN”JOY” 



JOY. Week launches with this. Short “ode” —that’s a fancy word for a rhyme which is the  working  person’s term for poetry—by the. Way a lot of things rhyme with thyme but not much  rhymes with poetry—just  saying.


 So here we go..

Ode to Joy


When this rhyme I was completing 

Joy showed. Up but it was fleeting

When I got stuck I started griping

It was hard to keep my fingers typing

I sat and watched. The cursor blinking

Then got my thankful thinker thinking

Soon I made my frantic frowner smile

And words of Joy came in a pile


Joy comes in little children’s laughter

In tales a that. End happily. Ever after

In one-line jokes that strike us funny

In fresh rolls  dipped in fresh honey


Joy comes when we can stop pretending

When shared  journeys feel unending

When your. Small kite caught a big breeze

When practice  changed the toils to ease


I do my best to think of Joy

When  each Day is  almost through

remembering  things  do not  bring joy

Only people  do

Joy can come from  memories and when little dreams come true

Mostly  joy is meant for  sharing thanks  for joy I’ve known from you


Okay  here are some acronyms  for Joy...take your pick or make some up... these will provide some Jumping Off points for the next three  entries.
