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.

Imagination
Prompt: Imagine a long coat, imagine the pocket of that coat, imagine what is inside the pocket... oooohh noooo...You are being followed aggressively...keep in mind all of the above details what are they going to discover when they get to you and grab your pocket.
---------
I can imagine in my coat pocket to find a check for a million dollars. That’s why I am on my way to the bank. But, no, someone’s tailing me. What the…
He does look like someone from the mob with an unusual bulge at his waistband. I must hurry and get to a more crowded street.
Oh no? He’s got me. He’s choking me, asking to hand him what’s in my pocket. I do as I am told. So what? Is my life any less important than a piece of paper, but he isn’t satisfied with that.
Now he has my hands up and checking me, my every pocket, and my purse, while I am trying to tell him that the most important thing is the check in his hand.
He shoves me away and throws the check back at me. “This is important? This is important? Are you a nut or what!" Then he mutters, "Why do they get me in such a mess?” Now his voice is much higher. “You idiot! This is no check. Someone must have imagined it.”
He turns back and flees.
I pick up the check and look at it. By God, he’s right! On the paper is the list of the items what my teammates reviewed for the G.O.T RAID.
Me and my imagination!
