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: Do you like a quiet Thanksgiving with family and a few friends or do you like being around a lot of people on Thanksgiving?

I like Thanksgiving either way. It is a good holiday that has the ability of bringing together people from different backgrounds. Especially the idea of giving thanks and being thankful for what we have makes this holiday one of its kind. I could celebrate it with a crowd, or a few friends, or even alone by myself; although, the last option has never happened to me so far.

Prompt: What moment in time from last year, 2014, would you like to relive?

2014 August is the one that jumps up to my mind when we went to Manhattan and stayed for a week in Marriott Marquis. I love the Broadway area and the theaters, also hanging out on the streets, just to watch people. I am a displaced native NewYorker, but now, I like to go back to it as a visitor, too. That is why that trip felt so great.
