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 **

Re: Prompt 2
I think I'm in a dream myself because I cannot honestly remember how I came across this forum. Nonetheless, as Nance already knows, I'm smitten with anything you write, this poem included.

Just within my grasp are they;
Too short my stretching arm.
As I taste of vict'ries spoils
Off goes my alarm.


I can relate. Too soon a dream is interrupted by the blaring signal of the alarm!
