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 18: The Instant
by Joy Author IconMail Icon
The Instant

In high spirits,
did you smile just now
in crimson or magenta
and simply raise
your head from
the flowery pillow?

A dash of coloring
on your cheeks, a blush,
effortless and unplanned;
so much of my delight
depends on it,
since the target of fancy
depicts the creases
trailing the dimples
to the emeralds
of your eyes.

Much of my sense of things
catches the instants
we’re in step together
in inevitable waves,
wishing I could compose
a tune for this.
