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!

Twinkles in the Eyes
Prompt:
Creation Saturday. A twinkling eye can mean many things. Write a poem about a twinkle in someone’s eye.


------------

no shadows on your face
but twinkles in the eyes
a smile wide
on your six-year-old self

you hold your head to the side
your gaze finds my face
is it because
you loved me more, then?

still, so becoming your smile is
and your eyes twinkle
when they find mine,
just like in that old photo,

Son!
