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!

Island
Prompt: Write a four-line poem about a mysterious island. (Do this two times: once where each line rhymes and then again with no rhyming at all.) Let your creativity flow.

--------


Girded by mermaids and a cutthroat shark,
my isle of mistakes flounders in the dark;
mysterious trees on its hill, wind-shaken, bark
like dogs, bitter and scared by lightning’s spark.

Since I have swerved away, out of your way,
after our parting, such an enigmatic heart
this island prods on the latitude of worn-out hopes...
Still, may you find the route to come back to me!
