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!

Blog City image small

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: Think of your blog as a mirror. What does it reveal? Blog name, theme choice, design, bio, posts.... What does each element say about you?

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

I’ve had several blogs; all of those were very different from one another. This shows that any one of my blogs as to their name, theme, or design cannot reveal anything about me. Regarding the posts with this present blog, they are answers to prompt questions, which means the questions dictate the content.

If I had a blog, however, that I wrote free-flow in it without prompts and without a specific design or anything else, such a thing might serve as a dull mirror; just maybe. I have notebooks that I write free-flow in them with a pen that may be considered more of a mirror since they reflect my conscious thoughts as well as what goes on in my subconscious. Even that wouldn't be a perfect mirror, for I wouldn't like to limit myself or my self-image to just a thing, any one thing.

The fact is, thinking so much about me would make me self-conscious. For the same reason, I don’t like to think about what anything says about me, be it where I live, what I wear, what I write, or any vehicle I use for my writing.

In short, I just am and I just write.
