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. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **

Prompt #2 1/2
by wordsy Author IconMail Icon



A levy once breached
And now soon to flood
To fill up my mind
With it’s nocturnal mud
The sludge that remains
At the end of the day
That my mind now repeats
And begins to play
Through dreams that seem simple
And harmless at first
And don’t you know suddenly
Take a turn for the worst
To hold me in terror
In fears icy touch
As the images found
Are sometimes too much


as always,
wordsy.

"a thin trail of whispers
across a wandering mind
faint flashes of fantasy
that I often find
merely jaded shadows
of who I used to be
they fill with words, my pages
for all the world to see"
