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.

Lighthouses
Prompt: Lighthouses and faraway. Use these words anyway you want.
===================================================
If you can guess you can see far far away from a lighthouse, you must remember that the eye can only see as far as the earth’s curvature permits.
One such lighthouse with the best-unbroken view of the ocean is the quaint Peggy’s Cove lighthouse in Nova Scotia, Canada, built on a site of about a million shipwrecks. I consider it to be one of the most truly picturesque lighthouses, usually located at the end of fishing villages.
This is one place where a person would love to spend a whole day watching (exploring!) the rocks and the surging sea. The fishing village itself has houses perched along an inlet with large boulders facing the Atlantic Ocean.
We went there a long time ago in a bus tour, which we took from Halifax. It is somewhat a tourist friendly place although that area is designed as a preserve.
I always thought lighthouses to be romantic and we have visited a good number of them in our life. This is only one of them. Maybe at another time, I'll talk of some other lighthouse in this blog.
