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!

Nothing to be sorry about, Keith. Your poetry is fine. It feels 'not good' to you because, as poets and writers, we always have a lot to say and whatever we say does not feel enough. Anyhow, in this forum we can make all the goofball mistakes. What we have are first drafts; so whatever we come up with is okay. Just read what Hemingway said about first drafts. *Laugh*
Yes, to Dew Drop Inn. I do love Dew Drop Inn as you know, and Katya is such a splendid teacher. See you there and here, then. *Smile*
