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 Chapter #3Jessica sees Darren by: Joy A fleeting movement, an image at one of the windows from inside the bank...Darren? Why was he still here? After he had told her to butt off, hadn't he gotten in his car and driven away?
What was he doing in the crime scene? Jessica was excited to know that Darren was taking such an interest in this case. Was it interest? Hadn't the papers once deemed Darren "senseless," or "randomly without logic"? Didn't a few cops refer to Darren as insane? Jessica didn't think Darren was senseless or insane, but he sure acted strangely at times.
At times, he was a competent police chief. At other times, he just shrugged off the most heinous crimes. Jessica twined single pieces of hair around her fingers and then let them go, frizzle the way they always did over her head.
She decided to give it another try with Darren. Maybe she could bring up her friendship with Linda, the forty-five something policewoman Darren so desperately wanted to go out with. Linda could be considered pretty, as if such an attribute would be of high value and worth the agony of a face lift; as if a pretty face was unconditionally superior to a woman's dignity.
Jessica shrugged. Face-lift or what, Linda could help her.
indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
