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.

I could think this is the writings of a nay-sayer, but the guy is a serious one and usually tells what he really believes in and what I have been afraid of in the back of my mind.
Being the eternal optimist, I am hoping everything will fall into place and we'll clear off our misdeeds.
On the other hand, if what he says comes true, I'm heading for the hills...that is if I can come up with the cash to head for the hills. 
But then on a totally unrelated issue, on the lighter, positive side, if this can be considered positive, Megan Garber writes in Columbia Journalism Review, about Twitter:
"The Twitter of the Shrew. No, Seriously.
Hey, did you hear that sound? That dull, rumbling-but-kinda-squeaky noise, echoing and mournful and punctuated with a gaping groan?
If so, don’t worry too much…it’s probably just Shakespeare rolling in his grave."
