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.

By the River's Edge


by the *river's edge,
a *shock to my senses,
and in a fleeting trance,
a *rebellion grows, inside,
as if it knows, perchance,
my *sandwich of time will
be eaten soon, to fulfill
a soothsayer's prediction

yet, the moon will shine, still
so I *refer to *elegant nature
and *conservation's dance,
for the two can *reproduce
life with *competence
and thrills, and for now,
in my view, nothing's askew
by the *river's edge.
