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!

Random Words...That Sales Pitch
Prompt:
Have fun with these random words--appoint, rifle, mill, wrong, diamond, toothless, debate, be, normal, and advertisement.

----------          

         That Sales Pitch!

A polished *advertisement in bright display,
they *appoint a smile to sell me the day,

grinding doubt away in a slogan *mill
words stacked like gold, *be it at will,

the *diamond dream, gone slightly *wrong,
shines loud and proud in a jingle’s song

their facts go *toothless in perfumed air
as a *debate between truth and flair,

calling excess *normal, here is shown,
they *rifle my hopes with that velvet tone,

with billboards blessing a doubtful right
my destiny's iffy, in this glittering sight.
