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 did you do the summer after high school?
========
This prompt sounds like a Katy Perry lyrics. “Summer after high school when we first met”
It was such a long time ago that I can hardly remember anything. Only because I was looking forward to college. Then, I worked for four weeks as a tutor in a private school offering courses in summer. I can’t even remember much of it. I used to tutor other high school and junior high school students when I was myself in high school, so the job wasn’t much of a problem and it only was for four weeks.
Then my uncles, their families, my mother, my grandmother, and I went on a trip to a seaside place and stayed there for a week. It was fun. As I said, I hardly recall what happened during that summer.

And an unrelated thing:
Yesterday I wrote this book review here in WdC, on Amazon, and GoodReads.
Nothing new so far, but the author of the book answered the review and we had a nice back and forth going. This author, Dave Astor, also has a blog on literary trivia and literature in general.

It is so nice when an author appreciates a review and makes it known to the reviewer. I just had to enter this in this blog.
