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: Creation Saturday! Let's play with the random word generated for your writing pleasure: chaos, council, night, crust, pound and hectic.

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

Night-Work

Beneath the crust of chaos
a council of hectic dreams
pound their rusty gavels
on slumber’s podium.
Shall I be wary of,
or maybe, embrace
their frenzied topography
and cunning radiance?

Thus, on awakening,
hiding my head
in the crook of my arm,
I wonder why
the memory blows its smoke
into altered shapes
and sprays caustic spirits
inside me and why,
despite the discipline
of such night-work,
I can’t capture
even a shadow of myself
in my stories.
