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!

Rain
Prompt: Write a blog entry that starts and ends with the words "The rain wasn't all bad"

----

The rain wasn’t all bad, today. Its drizzle made me recall things I didn’t let myself think about, like the time we got soaking wet and clung to one another or the time, after you left, I went out walking in the rain, so I could blend my tears into raindrops and hide from people, so the noise of the drops could drown my sobs, and I thought Thank God for the falling rain. What if it flew upwards instead of down!

Yes, Thank God for it. Since it wrapped itself around a crumbling heart, the rain wasn’t all bad.
