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!

Roaming -- Dew Drop 30
Roaming

What is it that makes us
leap into adventures when
our legs refuse to move and
our bodies have long given up?
Is it because we still like
to duel with life and deal with
eerie, elusive things like
getting lost in countless
upstate highways when
the setting sun blurs
the highway sign and
we miss the only exit?
What is it in us that
makes the heart follow
the feet and then clamor
with the tongue of gypsies?
