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:
Let's have some fun with random words: cat, lecture, snarl, residences, show, stain, purr, and *gold.


-----------

Cat on the Floor

from most *residences on our street
dogs rule with a *snarl and they *lecture
my black *cat, while she meows and *purrs
in the house, not getting the picture

as barks cascade in a bogus *show
she stretches out like a movie star
on her own *gold spot, the sunlight's *stain
on the floor, and dogs now sound too far
