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 25
25. Write a poem using (or about) images of geometric shapes

"Where are you?" I whispered.
"On a plane" you pursed
darkening circles in your notebook
in black and more black.

So I admired you from a distance
ashamed to view you whole
My glazed eyes refracting
this new lense.

Pale squares meld with fleshy sequences,
triangulated tidbits and prismatic light.
This cylinder is lonely dark
without geometric evidence of
the kaleidoscope in your smile.
