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.

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: Where would you fly right now if you could hop in a plane?
------
I am not too crazy about air flights anymore. They have become a pain. Yet, if they were to revert to what they were, say about 30 years ago, I would go to NYC since my older son lives there, but if I could go to just anywhere without any thought to family or other concerns, I would probably go to Ireland and then to Scotland.
This is because I love what Irish authors of any genre do so well with their prose and language and the way they present their country via their fiction. That is why I would like to go there. Although I know the Shannon airport and its environs, since we stayed there overnight, it wasn’t like I really visited Ireland. Then, even if I am not a real drinker, I’d like to visit a pub or two in Dublin as I am rather partial to Guinness. Not to mention seeing the countryside and the small towns as small towns anywhere have always intrigued me.
While on the islands, I’d also like to see a good part of Scotland and the moors as Emily Brontë's Heathcliff, Diana Gabaldon, Loch Ness, Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Tana French, and the like have been poking me for a long time.
I have seen enough about Continental Europe and some parts of the Middle East, so I am not curious about those places. But I’d hop to Ireland and Scotland willingly...if I could.
