Oreos, Oreos,

you know how it goes.

You twist them apart,

yes, that's the trick.

There's the frosting

waiting

to be

licked.

Joy: Kapaa, Kauai, Hawaii, United States; Joy Acey, the Princess of Poetry, has won many prizes for her poems. She published in Highlight's HIGH FIVE, and The Poetry Friday Anthologies. She is a performance artist and conducts writing workshops for children and adults. She’s hopped a freight train to ride in a boxcar over the world's second largest wooden trestle bridge. She was on a TV game show and won enough money for a trip to Australia. She has lived in England and Japan. She has walked across a volcano in Hawaii and a glacier in New Zealand. She has gone swimming with iguanas in the Galapagos and was in Ecuador during a revolution. She visited the rainforest in Peru, went on safari in Kenya and walked The Great Wall in China. Always looking for new adventures to write about, she currently lives in Kauai, Hawaii with her husband Jeffrey Frelinger, an immunologist. She has two grown sons and two fabulous daughters-in-law.
