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 25: I Remain a Square
by Joy Author IconMail Icon
I Remain a Square

I draw my thoughts
in fractured lines,
dribbling away accordion hopes
and parallel passions,
my sense of context
alarmed at my circling
around the circumference
of the same hardnosed code
without penetrating
to its center,
maybe, because I am a square,
though without right angles,
and I use tactical patterns
trying to fit inside your cylinder.

Since bewildered by solid forms,
cubes, spheres, or pyramids,
it might serve me well
to remain within two dimensions
and circle around life's triangles
with other squares.
