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. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Saturday Fun
Prompt: Let's look at the world from a bird's eye view. What does it see? Mundane or exciting it's creative Saturday have fun.

Bird’s eye view

So very juvenile
those spring primers
bloodroots, daffodils
forsythias, crocuses,
with graceful profiles
fighting one another
to become nannies for
late bloomers like
magenta tulips!

And I say as I perch,
in my elfish way,
high on a buttercup branch
“Such wanton cravings,”
while I watch them
from afar,
then worry about
my lost feather tails.

Shouldn't we all know,
feathers, petals, or not,
when life has us in its claws
we cannot dance alone
without making circles
around each other?
