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!

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

Prompt:
"There's nothing more beautiful then the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it's sent away."
Sarah Kay
Write about this in your Blog entry today.

----------

the ocean, a lover true, has currents deep,
kisses the shoreline, with a promise to keep

day after day, as the sun sets
night after night, without regrets,
the ocean refuses to stop her quest
for shoreline's embrace, where she rests

for a while, with love so wide so deep,
awake in the day, alive in sleep
ocean and shoreline, in a lover's tryst,
lost in a moment, in a sun-kissed mist

so I stand where land meets the sea
to watch this vision, wild and free
the ocean's kiss, relentless and kind,
is testament to love, and a rare find

as ocean, the lover true, has currents deep,
kisses the shoreline, with a promise to keep

Prompt: How was your Christmas this year? Write about it in your Blog entry today.

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

My son from NY came to visit and we had a good time. Then, we talked to family members via Chat and Skype. We opened presents and enjoyed the day.
The weather wasn't the best it could be, but it wasn't too cold or hot either. Right now, it is raining outside and it looks to be a dull day. I guess the weather on the 25th was a bit better. It must have been the weather this year to discourage my neighbors from putting up the Christmas lights as only two houses on my street has lights and decorations.
As usual, I only had a wreath on the front door.
