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!

EeeewWW! A two-year old smokes?
Nice going, Dad! Now I’ve heard everything.
As cliché as it is, what’s the world coming to?

“2-year-old smokes two packs a day
A 2-year-old Indonesian boy's parents say he has a two pack a day habit and throws a tantrum when they refuse to give him cigarettes.
His father gave him his first smoke when he was 18 months old and now he is addicted.

Sorry, smokers, but I really, really hate cigarettes. Worse yet, I can't imagine giving such a thing to a toddler.
Shouldn't there be a way to excuse/ban people from parenthood?
