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

Prompt:
By the dark of the moon.
Write about this in your Blog entry today.
--------
The Dark of the Moon
when the night whispers low
a silence in which soft shadows
glow, a moment so frail and
the world wears its veil
by the dark of the moon,
why death came so soon and
her tiny body took flight
and wind swayed to cradle
my cat in tender display
by the dark of the moon
She's gone suddenly to find
the truths she seeked in
this mixed-up world, with a life
so unique, inside the stillness
of night and the dark of the moon
