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.

Hahaha! Batmaaan! That theme song! I can hear my sons' voices in my mind's ears, now.

Yes, I did watch the earlier Batman series, however unwillingly, during the 1970s and maybe early 80s when my sons were watching them. I had to watch it with them so they wouldn't fight over an episode about who was wrong or who was right.

One day, while they were in their good and quiet behavior and I had dared to leave them alone in the room and go do a chore in the kitchen, one of them came running to me, "Mom, do something. This Robin!" He was so disturbed that an ally and a friend could turn against Batman. It seemed Robin collaborated with the enemy if only for a short time; then, I guess, the episode must have fixed itself or was delayed until the next time, which I can't recall. All I know is that both boys loved to watch Batman, and they seriously disliked Penguin, Batman's archenemy.

The younger one used to put my black sweater on his back like a cape and run through the house screaming, "I'm the caped crusader!" I guess there was a batgirl in the picture, too, but I cannot seem to remember her. Anyhow, a few years after those days, by the time my own two caped-crusaders met their own batgirls, we had stopped watching the Batman show.

I think. later, the series were also made into cartoons, but my sons and I, all three of us, had graduated from watching TV and cartoons together into doing our own things. And thank God for that. Still, I do thank for the memories, too.

Thank you, Batman, the idea, the actors, the producers and the crew!
