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 **

As Loud _ Prompt 29
Prompt29: Write a haiku chain about coming to an understanding or a sudden enlightenment about a negative situation.

As Loud

The calm land trembled,
earthquake destroyed everything,
tall buildings fell short.

Running all to hide,
they left everything behind
except their sorrow.

Keen fear filled their souls
while watching the shaking earth;
tense times passed by them.

Stones were crushed to soil,
angry weather was screaming
as loud as their shrieks.

The stars shone at night,
the crisis gathered people
admitting God's grace.

The sun beamed brightly,
rays of light spread life ahead,
eyes of people shone.
