 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: Alphabet Poem 
An alphabet poem is similar to an acrostic but instead of writing the name of the poem down the side, write the alphabet and use each letter of the first word of each line to tell a story about yourself. 26 lines about you.... have fun! 
 
Saving My Today 
 
Almost there, my eyes open 
Before I rise up, alive, 
Come rain or shine 
Day of mine 
Excited to see you in 
Full bloom 
Guess I'll refrain from 
Horsing around but groom 
Inside my bedroom 
Joy-ously, as if I'm in 
Kindergarten, under the dome 
Loving every second, every 
Minute of my home 
Not because I'm made 
Of flesh and blood, but 
Perhaps words and lines 
Quickly put together  
Reasonably or not, to  
Save my today for  
Tomorrow I may not be 
Up and around and 
Very alive with words 
While the best is now and 
X marks my forever 
You'll see, for soon, I'll be 
Zooming from Alpha to Omega.
