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!

Full Moon - A Haibun
Prompt “The moon in all her immaculate purity hung in the sky, laughing at this world of dust. She congratulated me for my carefully considered maneuvers and invited me to share in her eternal solitude.”
Empress Shan Sa
Prose, poem, or story: How does the moon affect you?

Full Moon
(A Haibun)


Once, she had thought, "That silly moon is just a pebble in the sky, secretly believing it’s a precious gem and not realizing that it only reflects the splendor of the sun."

playing peek-a-boo
the full moon foolishly proves
it’s made up of stone

One night, deep in the woods, under the glow of the haunting full moon, he pulled her to him for a kiss, while shadows danced ominously against the trees. Ever since, she has been howling at the moon.

deceiving glitter
a freaky caricature
validates love's pain
