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 12

With the lights all a glitter
amongst all the flitter
and the spirits now freely aflow.
And gaiety abounds
with the ringing of sounds
as voices in laughter do glow.
And there in the corner is ole Jackie Horner
sloshing and spilling his gin,
And says Old big Bob, "Boy what a slob"
as he wipes away whiskey from chin.
And the night is a wonder
with ssslurring and blunder
while the clink of glasses does ring.
And all out of tune, like a wheezie baboon
we all begin to sing.










as always,
wordsy.

"a thin trail of whispers
across a wandering mind
faint flashes of fantasy
that I often find
merely jaded shadows
of who I used to be
they fill with words, my pages
for all the world to see"
