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 If you’re looking for a friend

Choose any one of the Simon and Garfunkel songs. Use the song or any part of it as your starting point.

If you’re looking for a friend

It’s hard to find a bridge
Over often troubled waters
In spite of all your love
For your sons and for your daughters

Or a perfect balm in Giliad
That will always ease your mind
Or a place when you’re down and out
That you long so much to find

If you’re looking for a friend
And you see I’m still around
You can know without a doubt
I will always lay me down
