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!

----------


To a Soprano


she lives for her 19th nervous breakdown,
translating silence into song
for she’s a rainbow
in a sentimental sky
and I can’t say, “get off my cloud!”

just maybe, time is on my side

then, as tears go by
like wild horses on the prairie
an existence I dismiss
when I hear her long meandering tunes
outdoing my stories

and, I bang my head on her invisible gate
to scream, “Can’t you hear me knocking?”
