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.

Fairy-Tale Future and Words
Prompt: "If you see magic in a fairy tale, you can see the future." Danielle Steel You can write anything you want about this.
--------
Surely, there is magic in a fairy tale because fairy tales are fantasies. If the fantasy genre and fairy tales were planets, they would spin in the same direction and their orbits would be called magic.
Imagining the future is also fantasy that can turn into reality, if the person imagining it can have the prowess to make it happen or can see it happen. For example, if someone had written a fairy tale in the year 1565 and imagined the existence of the internet, we would have thought of that author as having seen the future.
In fact, there are authors who have seen the future in their fantasies, such as H.G. Wells and possibly Carl Sagan. Yet, not all authors or artists who delve in any media of fantasy can create the future, but they can create fairy tales with magic in them that their readers and viewers can enjoy.
So, although some people can see the future in a fairy tale’s magic, I don’t think everyone who can see magic in a fairy tale can be as successful, but fairy tales are fun and so is fantasy in any shape or form.
Prompt: Kind Heart, Brave Mind, Fierce Spirit Use these words any way you like in today's entry.
----------
Your Smile at My Feckless Flippancy
As if in remorse,
I can see through your loving eyes
that brave mind detecting
the soot on my fierce spirit
and its need for meaningless comedy
directed at the nonsensical,
corrupt or eccentric.
So much for my florid phrases
like dimming stars on the night sky...
Yet, they slide their thin luster
toward your sacred duty to me,
that slight smile on your face
a sign of your kind heart
and my urgent solace.

Note: In short, my husband laughs at my stupid jokes.
