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!

Irony
Prompt: Write about ironic things that have happened to you or other people.

------------

If irony is something that’s contrary to what one expects, then those of us of the older set know that our need to use the bathroom flares up at the most inopportune times.

The best retorts to insults or answers to questions come to me much later after they are answered by others.

I sometimes get sick when I am about to go on vacation. If not me, it is my husband. So I am telling him, I’m never traveling again.

I also ask myself why my hubby wants to fix the outside porch’s fan and other stuff there just before the hurricane season. A hurricane’s very first damage is usually directed at the porches.

Then, I have sometimes felt that my dog understood me much better than my kids ever did.

We all need and want money, but when it comes to its wise use or at least the planning of it, most of us ignore it or we are at sea about the how to go about it.

I read somewhere that in one of the Webster’s dictionaries, more than 300 words were misspelled. Nice going!

Then, at the end of things, by the time we think we have finally figured life out, it is over or we are too old to care.
