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.

What if, in 2025?
Prompt:
What impresses you the most and how about the role that a certain activity (sports, theater books, music, etc.) has had on your life? And can you predict what will impress you in 2025?
===========
Even without a second of hesitation, I can say what impresses me the most is good writing and word usage, and sincerity. After that, books and theater take the front row. As to sports, I liked them only when I could play them somewhat, but just the simplest ones, like tennis and bowling. Watching others on TV play them so well pains me now. Where music is concerned, I'm a piano-playing dropout; however, I love music especially if it's in the background while I'm reading.
I don't know what is going to impress me in 2025. World Peace would, I guess, and greatly, too! I would also be impressed if my own memory and eyesight improved a lot. Then, if nothing broke down in my house and the economy got much better in our country and if I could handle the new technological changes and AI much better, those things would impress me greatly, too, and quoting Emily Dickinson: "Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all.”
I hope, therefore, for all our lives in 2025 to turn out to be fantastic with good health, happiness, and much success. So I say, cheers to this new year and to another chance for us to get things right.
