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!

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

PROMPT: Write a funny/satirical entry describing something (or some things) you'd like to get away with now that the US government is in shutdown mode.

-----------------------

Okay, since there wouldn’t be enough eyes to figure out my hidden desires through citizen spying and to see and hinder my resulting actions, I’ll sneak into the hangars and commandeer a space shuttle to go to any other place in the cosmos where there are no governments, shutdowns, political parties, infights or wars.

Phew! Glad you guys are coming with me. Make sure you have some writing implements and stuff with you. Just maybe, we can form and live in a decent community elsewhere. If there are ten of us and each one of us writes a couple of books every year, we’ll have enough reading material to sustain us for some time.
