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!

Restrictions: None
And to Dine with...
Prompt: Dinner with Queen Elizabeth or Stephen King. Which one would you enjoy dining with and why? You can only ask one personal question, what’s it going to be?

----------

Stephen King, hands down.

Queen Elizabeth, too much pomp and circumstance.

Stephen King, literature, writing, and especially because I read his book, On Writing.

I would enjoy dining with him or just sitting around chewing the fat. I am sure I’ll learn a thing or two. After all, this is the author who said, “Books are uniquely portable magic” and “Writing is seduction.”

As to asking a question, I really don’t like to ask personal questions to anyone, unless I know them very well and I know they won’t be offended. Since I don’t know Stephen King personally, I am going to ask him this:

“In a Paris Review Interview, you mentioned a huge St. Bernard scared you, which led to your book Cujo. What else scares you that you haven’t written about, yet?”
