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 **

Where Are You? Prompt 41
Where Are You? Prompt 41

Sometimes your day is manageable
And your every cloud seems to have a silver lining
Other days
You are just hanging on by a thread
And the whole world seems to be a pair of scissors
Or
You are trying to walk across a thread-like bridge
With worn out mountain boots
And wind shears
And ravenous wolves
In the canyon below
And you think
“Where are you God?”
“Who are you God?”
“God?”
“I doubt it.”


Candlemaker

"Think for yourselves
and let others enjoy the privilege
to do so too.”
Voltaire
