Comment from Dean Kuch
Ha ha, well, if this little ditty doesn't make you want to rise up out of your seat and dance a jig, I'd suggest you have your pulse checked because you might be dead, LOL.
Excellent rhyming, with an upbeat, snappy cadence that fits the subject matter so well.
Wonderfully done, Brooke!

An amazing photo, catching the very pose to inspire this well written poem,
but if you are thinkin' of joinin' along,
just jiggle your toes, and we'll dance to the song.
My ties are already jiggling.
Well done

This had me smiling ear-to-ear Brooke. The alliteration showed all the way through, the rhyme seemed perfect and the bounce to reading each stanza made it easy to read.
I loved the opening lines- "I'm jivin' to joy that jiggles my toes
and jammin' to jazz my heart only knows."
Nicely done... John

Comment from Sanku
It is a poem that exudes sheer joy of being alive. the 'j' alliteration gives it a special high.When i was reading this (and I read it thrice) i remembered my days as a little girl when we used to jump with the skipping rope. Life was pure fun then Thanks for taking me through that memory track.

Comment from rama devi
What fun! A charming, whimsical, joyful poetic ride on waves of jubilation. I enjoyed the phonetics in phrasing, the upbeat tempo and the fine rhymes. Especial liked these lines and the alliteration of J:
I'm jivin' to joy that jiggles my toes
and jammin' to jazz my heart only knows.
This is cute too:
I'm jivin' to joy, and I must confess,
if anyone minds, I couldn't care less --
And the closing line is pitch perfect.
Delightful read, dear B.
Blessings,
rd

Wow! What a picture! And your words have captured the essence of Nora perfectly... jivin' to joy and jammin' to jazz. Great alliteration with J, not an easy letter to use. :)
