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!

Kiddie Stuff
Prompt: "I always cling to things that remind me of being a kid again." Melanie Martinez How do you feel about this quote?


========

Oh, yeah! I do that a lot! With or without realizing what I am doing. Melanie Martinez hit a nerve here.

For example, when the book sites send me the titles of books on sale, I am immediately drawn to the titles of children’s books, even though I don’t know that such a book belongs to the children’s genre.

Then for a very long time, inside my head, I likened the people I met to fairy-tale characters. One of my neighbors doesn’t know that she is Pippi Longstockings. The others…let’s not go there. This could take too long.

Also, when I hum a song, it is usually from my childhood, and I do it without realizing it. Songs like one-little, two-little Indians and the alphabet song.

Small wonder my kids adored me when they were little, and then, as soon as they grew up, they looked at me with an expression on their faces that might easily have meant, “Yech! Who’s this?”
