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.

Summer Walks In
Prompt: Summer
what do you think about the summer season, and/or how would you personify summer in a story or poem?
----------
Summer Has Walked In
Summer has walked in with
a golden grin and a crown, which
she stole from the sun, and
began dancing over my place, and
painting the sky in crimson hues
she now boogies through the trees
with a breath of fire, for she has
blown a fuse, and our gentle breeze
has escaped away, while her laughter
finds a way to better scorch with a hum,
then, playing her drum, she rolls to sea
to warm it up for you and me, still
like all guests, she'll take flight
chased away by autumn's light
