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.

I Can't Write to Music
Do you write with music playing in the background? If so what kind of music inspires you? Feel free to share a song with us. If you don't why not?
=======
I love music, especially the classics. If I were to write while music would be playing in the background, that would probably be something from Vivaldi, Beethoven, or Ravel, but I don’t write while listening to music. Usually, I listen first, then write because my words would evaporate since music has a way of taking me away out of this world. I would end up listening to music and wouldn't be able to concentrate on what I am writing.
As to the kinds of music that I like, in addition to the Classics, I'm also partial to some of the pop pieces, folk songs, jazz, Broadway pieces, and easy listening, which my kids call elevator music. Among my favorites are Elvis Presley, Simon and Garfunkel, and some songs of the 1950s and 1960s.
