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.

Spring Is Wacky!
Prompt: What has Spring sprung into?
--------
In my neck o’the woods, spring has sprung into yo-yo dancing with cold and hot at unexpected intervals, and today, we have much rain, and much-needed rain it is because of the several brush fires, but the rain is tapering off, and the sun and the rain are waltzing together, outside.
It is a dark trick the spring has sprung on us. Still, I am grateful we don’t have what the poor northeast of the country has been going through. Wasn’t spring meant to be butterflies, flowers, and budding trees alone?
Nope. This year, spring is having mental problems, for sure.
This morning was so warm, I ended up wearing shorts and a sleeveless tee. With the porch door open now, I am feeling the coolness after the weakening rain. I have to get up and change again. This isn't an easy feat. My closet has turned into a jumble of stuff with colder and warmer wear having serious altercations with one another, and I am hesitant to go in there and face their fights.
If I do, I’ll end up straightening up the place for the umpteenth time, as I did during the last couple of months. Today, I want to read and do other things I like. But then, maybe I should wear longer pants, too.
It just shows, this year, spring has sprung only to confuse me.
