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!

"From the Frying Pan into the Fire"

In the sweltering *arena
of my everyday life and
on this *July day with heat
so *volatile, I aim
--in *desperation--
to cope, while
I hope for something
cool and fun, and I *jump
with a *personal *twist
into the pool
almost boiling hot
under the sun.
