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: Is there something you like and love but not what comes with it? Like I love tea pots and tea cups but I don't drink tea. Got the idea? Write about it.

===================

This prompt is a let-me-count-the-ways saga which can turn into a serial for me; however, I’ll try to keep it short.

Top of the line: Time--I love to read and write, but the rest of my real life gets in the way, and my real life is what I need to live. I am not giving up on either, even if it means both will suffer to a degree.

Writing: I love it dearly but publishing makes me feel cheapened, kind of like a street vendor or a snake-oil salesman. So I am keeping writing no matter what. As to publishing, I have given it up a long time ago, to keep my sanity. Please, I am not a good example in this; do try to publish your books.

Gluten: I love gluten and anything bread, cake, bagels, and all else wheat and whatever in that line. Yet, it gives me a well-rounded belly. Still I am not giving it up, not ever. I’ll take the belly.

Health: I try to stay healthy, and all my doctors are using preventive medicine on me. Yet, I intensely dislike the office visits and tests, which usually come out okay and make me wonder, “Did I really need those?”

External looks: I like to look good or rather good enough, but I hate shopping, beauty salons, and anything else that goes with it. This one I have given up on a long time ago, already, as it is a lose-lose situation. *Laugh*

Things: I love the camera and photography, but the darn lenses are so expensive!

On a personal basis: I love my husband, but there is one member of his family who is very difficult to take. I am not giving up hubby or trying to get along with that person, either.
