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!

*Note1* My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines. I am reviewing this poem for the Angel Army Review Challenge SEP 2020.

*Reading* THE POEM

The poem tells a story of a woman visiting a palm reader.

*Idea* WHAT I LIKED

I liked the word play; it made me pause and read a bit deeper.

*Star* STRUCTURE

This is free form poem.

*Star* MECHANICS

I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes. The poem is easy to read.

*Star* DESCRIPTIONS

I liked: "if love could be fire-retardant like my flannel pajamas"

*Star* PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS

Nice expression. For me, on the first read, the poem is fun, but on the second read, I saw a deeper meaning, especially in the last stanza with the cozy pajama hiding a deeper emotion underneath.
