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
A Photo
Prompt:
Use these words in your entry today: assignment, indoor, chain, photography, theory, patent, refuse, and tradition.

--------------------------------------


*photography reigns black and white
in *indoor light where shadows dance
and his picture speaks, holding a *chain
bound to me, and our moment, and
captured past, so sane, and it'll last

forever, whispering through the glass,
our *tradition as time expands and
*theory shifts to *refuse the stillness
I once held in my hands my *patent claim
of a fleeting glance as *assignment, maybe,

or a chance to freeze in the frame, since
life never sets to capture what one might forget
