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.

Prompt: What if the moon suddenly ceased to exist? What do you think would happen and how would you react to it?
==============
This is how I would react to it. I would beg and plead for it to come back. This could actually be a sci-fi story, btw.
Come Back, Moon!
Come back, Moon!
How can you disappear after taming me
with your patterned tranquility?
How can you bear to burn the bridges behind
so masterfully built to the same delicacy
of angel wings?
Now, Moonlight Sonata has lost its sweet chords,
no paths exist for hatchlings to reach to sea,
the earth leans to its side, weeping,
my camera faces a dark sky,
and failing to capture you, I howl.
Come back, Moon,
don’t leave heavens this bare
for without you, we are naked stumps
with no faith or hope, doomed.
Come back to smile on us once more
and do away with this bad dream
this hopeless longing, our gloom.
