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 **

45. Poem To Fog
by A Non-Existent User
I wish I could see
how the sun did flee
from my heart's very glee,
leaving dewy drops on my knee

Myriad emotions sparked my heart
but this mystery I could never sort
Happy I was, but felt restless, caught
amidst this dark, dense demon I sought

To alleviate the darkness inside
Which the sunlight shall not let preside
Amidst my heart's endless suppressed stride
Love, laughter, none was heard, but just the tide

People aren't cruel, though nature is hectic
But my writing went up the attic
What adjective to use? Terrible, terrific?
Amidst this wondrous highway traffic

All I can say to you, my fog
Is let the kennels free my dog
And lessen his endless suffering in the hog
And make alive my writing: glimmering through the smog.



Please feel free to comment. But this one was spontaneous, so forgive the typos, Joy.
