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 #1 Haiku
by A Non-Existent User
The sound of silence
falling leaves, red, brown and dry
CRUNCH! I broke the peace.

Like a bridge over
silent water, frozen lake
CRACK! I broke the ice.

Parsley, sage and thyme
Scarborough stew simmering
Over Rosemary.

It's past midnight, just playing with Simon and Garfunkel's songs using traditional Haiku form with 5-7-5 syllabic pattern.
