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!
Daily Cascade
Since my old blog "Everyday Canvas Open in new Window. became overfilled, here's a new one. This new blog item will continue answering prompts, the same as the old one.


Cool water cascading to low ground
To spread good will and hope all around.

Prompt:
Have fun with these words- tick, dialect, dependence, flush, mosaic, proof, guarantee, vain, and fresh.


----------
Words in Couplets

At the *tick of dawn, *fresh winds have stirred my pain,
their dark *dialect reflected light as if *mosaic in rain.

I sought *proof in clouds, searched for some *guarantee,
but the mind resisted my *dependence on what I longed to see.

I tried to *flush out doubt from inside my brain,
for chasing certainty is absurd and *vain

yet, morning has my hopes up, I am not afraid
for life and memories are still being made.
