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!

A Whole New World
Prompt: Use these words in your entry today: lyrical, elemental, brewing, power, ostracized, and bones.

A Whole New World

In tales elemental,
stars with powers long burnt out
are ostracized
and their bones swallowed
into black holes
with brewing power,
and when their fermenting is done
they are born anew.

Then, just maybe,
we, too, may find--
past the fumes and the eddies
of our murky nightmares and
lyrical dreams--
a whole new world of peace
under a huge blue sky
where sweet things can grow.
