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!

Snapshots (Dew Drop 24)
Snapshots

Bedazzled, I took a few snapshots
of a dignified queen palm today,
thinking, come late fall, it may
not be here, for lack of roots
causes tall things to fall when
hurricanes arrive, leaving
only shadows to tuck away grief
for what is lost, inside the eyes.
So, in this accidental world,
a well-tended tree waving its arms
to the golden sun
deserved my faint awareness and
lukewarm clicks of the camera, even if
a storm is a wind in vain
like an ephemeral madness and
one may assume some things
can be replaced afterwards.
