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!

Friendship and Autumn Leaves
Prompts: Friends give us the courage to lift the blinds on our hearts, to open up and show what we generally keep hidden from the rest of the world. With this in mind, write something about friends.


----------

I so agree with the prompt. Friendship is one of the strongest interpersonal bonds. It is not easy, however, as it demands time, effort, and being in the same place with the other person. Most friendships bring a support of each other, a lot of joy, and not too often, some strife. Most of us, even loners, depend on our friends to face the life’s ins and outs that spring up on our way.

As such, I’ve had several very good friends in my lifetime. Most of them can qualify as a best friend for one time or another. With most of my friends, I am not as in touch as I would like due to life’s demands, time constrictions, and the distances as to place between us.

Prompt: "There is something incredibly nostalgic and significant about the annual cascade of autumn leaves." Joe E. Wheeler Write anything you want about this.

----------

Autumn is the waning of the brightness of summer and therefore is attributed to life in one’s later years. They are nostalgic from that point of view.

From a practical point of view, the fallen autumn leaves make good compost for the soil or can be used as mulch for the flower beds. Moreover, they help provide wonderful photos and paintings, plus the famous song, “Autumn Leaves.”

leaves sing of decay
in lovely lavish colors
fluttering from trees
