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 random words-- switch, x-ray, install, series, reconcile, dead, maze, cupboard and bother.

-----------

My Inner Cupboard

I open the *cupboard, dust falls slow
in it, *nostalgia sleeps, from long ago

I flick the *switch, light spills wide,
an *x-ray glow on what I hide

keepsakes *installed are in place
as *series of ghosts I cannot face

my silence is heavy, my heart feels *dead
though I've *reconciled with what was said

but my thoughts fly as medley and *maze
darker in corners, in a hollow haze

for memories bind me, I cannot sever
some things I've kept, *bother me forever.
