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: What books do you plan on reading this summer?
---------
Too many. I own too many books waiting to be read. I am more of a reader than a writer. It doesn’t matter whether it is summer or winter for me.

I have close to 2000 books waiting their turn in Kindle, not to mention the 135 in Nook. Plus, I have a little music playing I-pod like contraption, which also serves as a story-reading tool. Then I have print books, too, waiting for their turn. I also borrow whatever strikes my fancy from the local library.

Now, among them, I still don’t know which ones to choose, but it will be a mixture of classics, literary, general fiction, mystery, and woman’s genre books. On the average I read two to three books a week, but because of the GOT games this month, it is down to one short book a week.

Unfortunately, this life will not be enough to finish reading all the books I’d like to read.
