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!

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

The more the fool I am, the more the happy whistler you are, You Long Tall Sally, and I am in love again, standing on the corner on the street where you live, on Blueberry Hill, as I am the great pretender in my blue suede shoes.

Now, due to the wayward wind, I’m just walking in the rain, carrying sixteen tons of shame while you are wearing his band of gold, and I can imagine you telling him on the phone, “Tonight You Belong to Me” all because you're in your ivory tower with the green door on Blueberry Hill and you wonder about me, thinking, Hot Diggity Dog Ziggity Boom! Why do fools fall in love?

It only hurts for a little while and maybe no, not much for the hound dog that I am, I’ll be home soon at the heartbreak hotel with a sweet old-fashioned girl, and I’ll tell her to love me tender. Then, que sera, sera.
