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 **

A Ray of Truth? Prompt 17
Write a "Dear Reader" poem addressing your reader.


A Ray of Truth?

Thanks for dropping by
To take a look into my work
For some a twinkle in the eye
For others quite a smirk

For others still, a ray of truth
From wisdom’s aging pen
I’m drawing deeply from my youth
And from my kith and kin

I’m hoping that your sojourn here
Will somehow move your heart
With peace and hope and maybe cheer
Yes, that would be a start
