Joyful journeying back into the land of haiku-ish like writing

They said
write about joy,
so I am.

Now I ponder:
"What is joy?"
An emotion.

Emotion is
'energy in motion';
so joy is motion.

I feel joy
when I am in motion;
moving.

Movement,
like dancing and running,
so often bring me joy.

Joy,
akin to happiness,
not always felt by adults.

Joy,
clearly seen on the faces of
tiny humans.

Children, nay,
*humans* innately know
how to express joy.

Joy is squashed by
other humans who have lost
their own joy long ago.

Joy,
the birthright
of all humans.

---

This was my joyful exploration of what wanted to come out of me, in poetry-like fashion, as I pondered the word 'joy'.

What brings you joy? I'd love to know!

I realise I didn't even *really* answer that question properly, which was the main aim of [this week's prompt](https://ecency.com/hive-161465/@hive-161465/blockchainpoets-weekly-prompt-joy) in the [Blockchain Poets.](https://ecency.com/created/hive-161465)

But you know what? I just realised I already wrote a post about one of the key things that consistently brings me joy. Want to read it? Hmmm, where is it? Oh! [Here it is.](https://ecency.com/hive-155530/@consciouscat/i-loooooooove-walking-and-running)

This post was written on Day 28 of Hive Blog Posting Month while on holiday in Wellington, New Zealand. I was feeling pretty joyful surrounded by all those flowers in the Auckland Domain Wintergarden. Lucky my partner, Brad, was there to capture it 😉
