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.

They never understand!
Prompt: The FBI show up at your door. Why are they there?
Easy and I don’t blame those guys one iota, either. On an alert by Google Chrome, they have checked my browsing history and found these search questions:
Arsenic
Nightshade family
the deadliest poisons that don’t leave a trace
how to hold a gun
how to fire a gun
the different kinds of firearms
dirks, scimitars, and other sharp blades
lonely women moving to Syria
erasing blood stains
why people kill
Stoning
Book Gorilla
Revolutionary Petunias
Arms race and phallic symbols
18th-century hanging practices
murdered kings in history
How to become a member of the mob
Cryogenics
Alien influence
Punishments for adultery
I tell them I am a writer and I have a right to do all kinds of research. They tell me they don’t know of any books by me and they ask if I've sold any.
I tell them, I am not a vendor; I am only a writer.
They say nobody just writes. They can’t believe that I just write.
I tell them to check my portfolio in Writing.com.
They glance through my port, and then, they look at me and say: “Idiot, loser!”
Obvious, isn’t it? From those two words, I immediately understand that they were sent by a presidential candidate.
I say: “You are not the real FBI agents. You are only acting the part."
They say: “And you are not a real writer. You are only acting the part.”
Losers!
