poem challenge: Taste

I Wonder What Joy Tastes Like?

I wonder what joy tastes like? 

Do you think it tastes like cotton candy?

Or even sprinkles?

What if it tasted like jelly beans?

What if it is a liquid?

Like chocolate milk!

Or even Orange juice?

Would that be good?

What if joy tasted bad?

Like brussel sprouts?

Or even asparagus?

What if it has a despicable taste?

What if it tasted like nothing?

If you could not taste joy would you not feel it?

What if joy has no taste?

Do you think joy can have a good taste? 

Maybe just maybe we can taste it just by feeling it?

Maybe it tastes like a big chocolate cake!

Or even a big ice cream sundae! 

Or a browning with frosting and sprinkles on it!

I guess I will never taste joy.

    Love this poem, the energy is fantastic!

    "If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." - Toni Morrison
