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
May 17, 16, and 15 (prompts)
Prompt: Finish this line--- and create either a poem, story or blog entry. Two’s company three’s a crowd.

-----

Two’s company three’s a crowd
Whoever said that is far out.
Is the baby to a couple superfluous?
This has to be an idea treasonous.

The fifth wheel, too, isn’t unnecessary
Left in the trunk, like a cast-out fairy
Except when the fourth wheel breaks down
Then the fifth wheel is king with a sparkly crown.

How we simplify numbers passes me by
Odds and evens we must treasure all and justify

Mixed flowers in a basket


Prompt: What are your summer plans?
-----
None. I don’t make summer plans. Where I live, it is summer practically all the time, and I live life as it comes.

Prompt: "Well, I do find beauty in animals. I find beauty everywhere. I find beauty in my garden." Doris Day
Write anything you want about this.

Our world is incredibly beautiful. Forgetting our personal prejudices of what is beautiful and what is not, a simple observation of just about anything can dazzle our senses. This beauty we can see has nothing to do what we can do with it like using those dark green herbs in our cooking, as beauty is not limited to how we can use it. Neither is anything beautiful to the exclusion of everything else.

A frog is beautiful as is the rose and the river in all its forms and in any one season. The same is true of vast landscapes. Grand Canyon is just as beautiful as the jungle or the oceanside.

Just the perception of everything and anything, when we put our minds to it, sends us a pleasant emotional response. Maybe this is because of our relationship with the world; then, maybe beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I used to have an art teacher whose motto was, “See beauty, create beauty!” As Doris Day was creative and beautiful, too, no wonder beauty existed everywhere for her.
