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!

What I am hooked on
Everyone's addicted to something in some shape or form. What are the things you can't go without?

---------

Aside from the basic needs, reading, books, music (but only the kind that I like because some kinds of music hurt my ears), full moon, sunsets, ocean, trees…well, my list is endless. This is because sometime in my life--it might have been my middle years--I fell in love with our planet and what humanity can do, though what it does is another story.

Since I started rambling, I’ll go back and pick reading to write about, which at the moment, is my most favorite thing to do. As to the why of it, some of my reasons are in the open while others might be hidden, even from me.

I read because I am curious just about everything, and curiosity didn’t kill this kitten yet as I might really have nine lives or more. Then, what is wrong with gaining information, enhancing one’s worldview, and learning just about anything from the crib to the grave?

Second is the entertainment value, the drama of the story, watching the plot take shape, and feeling amazed at or finding fault with (internally and once in a while) an author’s art or know-how. I may also discover a powerful author’s hidden or obvious technique of writing and pat myself on the back when I feel I have done so.

Then, while I read, I relax and enjoy my quiet time because I am a sucker for solitude.

The other things I am attached to deserve their own pages, so for now, I am taking time off on them.
