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.

This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts.

Prompt: Let's talk genre-crossing...pick a WDC writer (other than yourself), and a famous author (past or present). But...they have to write in genres that are not the same as each other's most common or preferred genre. Team them up and tell us what you think they'd come up with.
===========
I am teaming up Princess Megan Rose with author Stephen King. (Sorry, Megan )
If they were to rewrite Carrie together, Megan would send Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy of Jane Austen fame to Carrie’s rescue, but then, Stephen King would turn both of them into fire-starters and he’d also give both of them nasty mothers who would abuse them. These mothers probably would fight with each other, too, after snooping the hot give-and-take, lovey-dovey-feeling scenes between Carrie and Mr. Darcy. Of course, Elizabeth wouldn't sit still either, but Carrie would take care of her by setting Elizabeth's petticoat on fire.
Add to all this, Brian De Palma, the director in Carrie’s movie version, and at the end of the movie, we’d see two hands coming out of the ground, one of them Carrie’s, the other Mr. Darcy’s. How romantically scary!
