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!

Prompt: prettypoetry’s "Invalid Item

"It is so beautiful the way you all reveal your real selves!
The things I learn are invaluable every time we talk!
Sharing the greats of your heavens, the hell of your hells!
Your stories are mesmerising, the way you walk your walk!"

What do you suppose the poet means?

---

I think the poet is appreciating people a lot; I might be wrong, of course. For a split second, I wondered if it were a satirical poem.

Yet, on second thought, I don’t think so because the entire poem is only of those four lines, and I really think she’s talking to us, the WdC people, celebrating who we are and what we write.

What is there not to celebrate? We come from culturally diverse backgrounds, converging upon a single ideal: our love of writing. Our stories and journeys are all different, but we blend beautifully. As much as our individual uniquenesses can be treasured, our medley is a united whole. So, thank you, prettypoetry, for writing about us. *Smile*
