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.

Name a fashion or a trend that is currently out of style that you wish would make a comeback? Or name one that you wish would disappear forever.

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

I wish all fashion trends would disappear. If it did, no one on earth could make women cover-up or open up to the nth degree and make men wear ties that make them look as if they are choking to death.

I don’t know who made fashion become a reflection of social, economic, political and cultural changes, but someone did it sometime. Leading the culprits is the greed of the luxury industry. The industry’s modus operandi is stamping a logo on everything and enticing the rich and famous into becoming the leader of the craze.

Rather than using clothing as a defense against the elements, we have turned into maniacs who wear the latest things. It is not just the clothing, though; fashion trends show up in house and garden decorations and in the designs of the vehicles. As a result, this creates impulsive shopping habits. Except, a few savvy customers have learned to follow their own hearts and do with their belongings whatever strikes their fancy.

I know any industry is valuable in producing jobs, but should job creation serve to empty the pockets of the people? I don't think so. I think job creation should serve the people, without corrupting them.
