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!

D-Day
Prompt: Have fun with these words in your entry: rabbit, visible, breeze, bomber, perceive, statement, brother, and censorship.

------

D-Day

on those fields now
*rabbits hop and
*censorship hides
old truths with ease
and a *visible shadow
tries to stop what
I hear and *perceive
in the *breeze

a deadly *statement
as *bombers roar and
I hear and weep over
my *brothers' fears
of long ago, on D-day
at the Normandy shore,
on the fields now
where *rabbits hop
