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!

Prompt 16 : Winter Flight
by Joy Author IconMail Icon
Winter Flight

The wind that shapes my words
brings me up
over the bony trees
and white-washed land;
the ice on the pond
with an ingénue face
tightened around the rim
reflects fragments of the sky
through the arc of my flight.

Searching for the secret map
of rebirth, I chirp as I fly,
hoping to turn the soul
inside out
to own up to my yearnings,
inaudible though
my tune may be.
