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.

Weekend and a July prompt
Prompt: What are your plans for the weekend? Do you do more writing on weekends or weekdays?
==
My plans for this weekend are not set in stone because they never are. In a little while, I’ll go to the library. That much I know. What I don’t exactly know depends on other people and the weather, which not knowing exactly what to do throws me off anytime, but this is the norm during any weekend.
My weekends are usually busy with social stuff, if you can call it that. I try to write as much as I can on any day, which isn’t much, at least not as much as I’d like. On the whole, I do better both with writing or reading during the weekdays.
Making up for the prompts I didn’t answer in July
Day 846 July 2, 2016
Prompt by Lyn: Let's play with that random word generator again.
sprites, cannibals, parasitic, sun, appalling and cranberry.
I can't wait to see where your clever minds take you!
===
On My Pillow
Each night in parasitic dreams
as the protagonist of my personal story
I return to the familiar
sprites facing the cranberry bush
summon the sun and accuse the cannibals
for devouring the fruit....
or something similar to it.
Appalling how,
with each toss and turn,
the mind contorts
my life into symbols
on the page of a pillow!
