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!

Restrictions: None
Pyrotechnics
Prompt: Have fun with these words: Deserve, desperate, designs, degrees, determine and anxiety.

=====

With her fear rising
to *desperate *degrees
the cat jumps on my lap
with a plea, "Meow, meow
pyrotechnics are getting to me"

thus, with steady nerves and no mistake
I *determine a path of peace
we both *deserve, but ouch!
*anxiety and meows overtake
the *designs of fate, for a while

so I pray to heavens not to be late
to let fireworks end, and though
I'm bold, lo and behold, about eleven
the chaos settles, and we're okay, and
now it is us, woman and cat at play
