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.

NaNo Mourning
(You did say, have fun!)
just why didn’t I write it in Nano
a fantasy novel or so
roses, rainbows, unicorns
I almost forget to breathe
while I sigh for an imaginary coterie
stone centaurs in shadows
in the lamplit façade
of a castle, or an ephemeral event
with a touch of history
and cognac I may offer to a king
with a wolfish smile
and if I could, I would cross out
every word in my present text
and replace it at random
with my wayward fancy’s lies
and flaunt it in social media
such as a kid falling from the sky
holding a medical encyclopedia
or a fiery dragon that flies, carrying
a frilly princess on its back
resurrected willy-nilly from
my replaced faith in the literary
I almost forget to breathe
roses, rainbows, unicorns
a fantasy novel or so
just why didn’t I write it in NaNo?
