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.

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.

Nostradamus Gives Bleak Predictions for 2018
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/man-who-predicted-brexit-and-trum...
a possible gossip but
our dear Nostradamus
who might have sipped
some muggy cocktail
before he got frazzled
by the rags of spirit
spilling silly worry beads
into the blizzard of his
own icy predictions
of murder, mayhem, and war
and, hoping for his sightless miss,
my vision is that of a lover
of peace, joy, and good tidings,
which will dazzle me in
twenty eighteen
