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. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **

Prompt #3: The river runs onward
by A Non-Existent User
"You never step in the same river twice. Do you?"

I have stepped into the river,
trying to gather the same water.
But it was here that I did not fathom,
and my steps did all but falter.
The river runs onward,
even further out of my reach.
and I sit here dumbfounded,
and in a lack of speech.
You cannot step in the same river,
for it is always changing.
Change always comes at some price,
and for that there is no blaming.
