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.

Tap the Muse
Welcome to the "Tap the Muse" In & Out.
The idea is: Write small; Think big!
All you need to do is write a couple of sentences, prose-poem, or a very short poem on the given word.
See what you can come up with in a short time.
I'll try to change the word often, depending on my time and real life. The original idea came from a website called, "one word, so little time."
Here are a couple of examples:
Glitter:
Glitter on the frost like the moisture in your eyes...Little did I know before I heard you crying, before I left in a haze of falling snow like a driven person who failed to see what might have been.
Prince:
The prince rocked back and forth inside the huge barrel. He choked up a scream, hissing, wheezing. Cinderella was nowhere in sight, but he knew she was hiding in the bushes, waiting for the barrel to roll down the Niagara falls.
Rules:
 Keep it very short.
Keep the rating under or on 18+.
Use the word inside your entry. You may use it in its different forms. (Singular, Plural, in different tenses or adjusted to different parts of speech like beauty beautiful.)
You may enter an item ID that you'd like to advertise or to offer for review.
In this activity, please refrain from touchy subjects that may irritate other writers, such as those of religion and politics no matter how strongly you believe in your cause. Such controversial additions will be deleted.
Make sure you have a copy of what you write. In and outs may change quickly and what you write may be lost.
Enjoy!
