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.

"Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself."
CHARLIE CHAPLIN
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.
David Whyte
This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts.

Celebration
(For my 23rd on WdC)
Today, my heart *settles in a *continental
and worldwide embrace because WdC
did stand tests of time and place.
I *try to recall moments, big
and small, and how for each stick
in this *nest, I gave my all.
The years did *slam like waves upon
our shore; yet, we writers rose
to a *level, much deeper than before.
In this site of friendship where
dreams and hopes play, Happy 23rd to me,
on this special June *day.
