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.

Halloween Persona and Life
Prompt: If you could be anyone or anything this Halloween, who would you want to be and why?
I would like to become that lion in the video playing soccer. He made me laugh yesterday when I watched the video:
------
NP:
I read this prompt in a book while browsing in Barnes and Noble’s: Sum up your most important reason for writing, in a single word. Then, every time you sit to write, put this word at the top of your page.
The first thing that popped into my head was: LIFE.
Now if I write “Life” at the top of every page, people will think that the title of what I am writing is Life.
Then I googled Writing is Life. All the links on the first page were for “writing life,” “writing is a way of life,” and “lifewriting,” except for one link that showed a pretty young woman in alluring poses.
That Google!
Oh, well, to each his own!
