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.

The Case of Aloft National Bank Robbery This choice: Jessica finds a powdery substance in the parking lot. • Go Back... Jessica looked at the little pile of blue powder. It seemed to be in the right location to have come from a car trunk. In her purse she found an old bill and used the envelope to collect some of the blue powder.
An hour later she was in the home lab of her friend Doctor Jeffrey Atkens, a Chemistry professor at the community college. "It might be a copper salt," Jeffrey said. "Some copper compounds have a blue color. But that would be a guess. I'll have to do a complete qualitative analysis to determine what it is."
"How long will that take?" Jessica asked.
"For you I'll stay up all night. I'll have it in the morning."
"That's great, Doc!"
"And... uh... Jessica... Do you suppose you and I can have dinner together Friday night?"
Jessica was ready with an answer. She had suspected their might be a price. She said... indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
