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!

His Handwriting (Dew drop 19)
His Handwriting

Not on tablets
or in charcoal,
but with ink on paper,
unleashed I thought
his attention to detail
through patchiness.
In the way his letters curved
faithful to high loops
on top of the lines
like hands clapping and
the deep dark ink
-a symbol of strength-
could be hooking for
someone to hold,
but then, I got
the whole thing wrong,
not noticing the distribution
of empty spaces or the
flair of smudges and streaks.
Maybe because I am
a speed reader, and I
never could read in
between the lines.
