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.

To the Pink Moon
Prompt:
Today's a full moon is called the Pink Moon. While it won't appear pink, this full moon holds a special distinction — it's the smallest full moon of the year, also known as a "micromoon". This is because April's full moon occurs when the moon is farthest from Earth in its orbit (known as apogee), making it appear slightly smaller and dimmer than usual, though the difference may be hard to spot with the naked eye.

Let the moon inspire your entry today ... a poem, a story. Have fun.

To the Pink Moon
You rose, steeped in gloom, today,
like a whisper shooing the stars away
in a sky that begs for grandeur loud
you drifted into its boastful crowd
your face, gentle, light pink and all
as if a hush, but not a trumpet call
now, you pull at my heart with silver beams
and soft light and longing, as it seems
still, from so far away, you turn the tide
and float over us in constant pride
from your distant path, with a pale plea
even dimmed and shy, you still move me.
