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.

Soaking
Prompt:
Use these words in your entry: bathtub, fill, customer, dictate, axis, essay, and dribble.
----------
the *bathtub beckons me as waters *fill
while drops *dribble in a tranquil thrill
but let me *dictate an *axis of peace
I, the *customer, wish this wait to cease
so bubbles can pen a gentle *essay
with problems solved, and the world fades away
