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 **

16. "Imagine yourself a bird flying high in the sky viewing the world beneath." Suggested by essence of thought

My bird gets clipped once a year
A blue and gold macaw
He never ceases to amaze
In the spring when he is ready
To spread his wings again.

It may be no accident the way
I bring him out to greet the sun
A little to soon.

The torque of his muscled wings
Is more than I can hold
His momentary freedom is nothing
I can deny... you let it go.

My fear is paralyzing or
Could it be envy
Such beauty in
His banded pride.
He is elemenatal for a moment
Beyond control and

Once a year he comes home
exalted in his being
a bird
not in a cage.
