Live out loud. Dance to your beat, and above all else, have fun, enjoy life and love yourself. That is what I hear when I read your poem. Wonderful advice and worth repeating.

HI Brooke: beautiful again! Fun and frolic with upbeat enthusiasm and great spirit. As always, great photo to pull it all together in one really 'jazzy' work! Vance

What a fabulous and fun poem about Nora! I love her hair. Loved the "j" extravaganza and the cool dance-like tone to the poem - written in the language the child would use.

I'm jivin' to joy, and I must confess,
if anyone minds, I couldn't care less --

I'm jivin' to joy that jiggles my toes
and jammin' to jazz my heart only knows.

Fantastic!

Awesome picture to accompany your upbeat poem about Jiving and jazzing and it makes me just want to get up and join right in.
My favorite line: "If anyone cares, I couldn't care less!" That's what I'm talking about. 8-)

Ah, Brooke, this young speaker reminds me of my granddaughter whom I took to the park today. She, too, seemed to be "jiving to joy" and that joy was infectious.
Love the use of J-words that make the song seem almost Cajun.
A fun read as always.

Thanks so much, Ben. Yep, four days a week Miranda goes to work in the afternoons without Sawyer, and on those days she hangs out with Nora. Brooke

This is a virtual 6 Brooke, that was some jitterbug jiving beat, in this poem, it swings so well with your words. Memories!! How I loved those days. It's so nice to see Nora dancing around like that. 5 years old, she is really having fun! Brilliant! xsx Sandra
