Joyce began writing poetry in 1995 to ease her eternal grief, the hole in her heart is great, death took her son like a thief. Joyce has lived a long time, one hundred years to be exact, she worked long after 65 and had time to Europe travel; I know all this 'cause I read her biography, so it is a fact. she loves to garden and in her eyes there is a sweet devil. Her poems are vast and beautiful, she is not afraid of form, acrostic, verse, haiku, limerick, rhyme, tanka, and much more; her poetic words just come tumbling like a wild storm, Joyce is not afraid to take her MUSE through any door. Joyce you are an inspiration, and on your 100th birthday I wish you the best; you have traveled a long and beautiful road. Could you be MY grandmother please? Everything about you is a treasure to hold. Unseen, A Haiku by Joyce Johnson frozen beauty hides in the untrodden places- known only to God _____________________________ April 15, 2018 Poetry/Couplet/Rhyme.Acrostic/Haiku Tribute to Joyce Johnson Copyright Protected, ID 18- 1012-194-01 All Rights Reserved.

The way Joyce has lived her life truly is an inspiration. When she got her first word processor in 1999, I bet she couldn't foresee how many types of poems she would tackle so successfully. Congratulations on your win in a highly competitive contest!
