About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

A Frame in Time
Prompt: Have fun with these nine words: junket, exhibition, care, introduce, sketch, door. flock, wreck and discrimination.

A Frame in Time

once on a *junket to a place afar, I
found an *exhibition under the stars
it was all *sketch and lore as if a key
to a locked *door

and our guide, with *care in voice and grace
on his face, set to *introduce art pieces
for we were to unlock the truth in minds
of this fancy *flock

but, a *wreck of dreams, and my hopes were
stillborn, since one frame held a form twisted
and torn, a slave in chains, and I heard the ring
of *discrimination's sting

yet, this pain so deeply stored must open hearts,
minds, and doors, just to show the darkness
and scars, if only to prove that, like time,
art, too, should always move.
