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!

On Stage

Have fun with these words- talented, adjust, public, nuisance, endorse, strength, strange. stumble and actor.

On Stage

His heart in flames, chasing fame
the *actor stands, beneath the light, and
the crowd, his *public, their eyes aglow

they lean forward to feel the show
of this *talented one, while his words rule
but a *nuisance, a cough so loud and cruel,

still, he stands, but *stumbles over his words askew,
now the stage feels *strange...new, yet with *strength,
he shakes off pain, to begin all over again,

for if nerves rule one's own play, no script could *adjust
what his heart may say, while critics can choose what they
can *endorse, only the applause will chart the course.
