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.

News Bits
Prompt: News Bits
I feel like writing something in the comedy genre on account of this news bit: "Scientists at Colossal Laboratories and Biosciences developed mice with the traits of a woolly mammoth they're calling "woolly mice."
Do you think we could live together with woolly mammoths again and/or which kinds of news stories tickle your funny bone?
--------------
If I'm remembering correctly, fooling around with the genes idea took hold during the nineteen seventies. This means it is still a new step. Is it in the right direction? I wouldn't know. I guess time will tell.
As to woolly mammoths, I don't think we can host them on this earth since most of the real estate has been taken over by my kind, the humans. In fact, we are forcing out the other species, be it animal or plant.
Also, I believe nature knows what it is doing more than we may know what we are doing. If it got rid of woolly mammoths, it had to have a good reason. Well, just maybe. Now, the question is, does nature have a good reason to get rid of us, its human pests? Time will tell, again.
Then, there is that gene-editing idea, which has shown some very good results as far as we humans are concerned since it has taken care of some of the genetic diseases. While the current focus on disease treatment is to our advantage, I am wondering if it also will be applied to cosmetic traits such as hair color and eye shapes, which would be ridiculous in my opinion.
With all this gene editing thing, my mind conjures up horror images, too. How about creating a dragon with a human head and feelings, for example? Now, I am not a horror writer, but if I were, my stories would tend to be more of a bad or silly kind of humor, rather than horror. Leave the story-writing aside, what if such creations by us were to become the exact, scary truth?
Then, think about such experiments or discoveries if they ended up in the wrong hands...In which case, we'd need to be more alarmed about our own doings than the outer space that Nasa's current space explorations are coming up with, about which the YouTube alarmist videos are trying to scare the whole world, nowadays. Space events, space plasma, and all other space stuff in attacking the earth, and all this with our backstabbing sun's compliance, don't tickle my funny bone either.
So, I've gone from woolly mammoths, woolly mice, to the dangerous space...You see, this is what happens when you insert a stick into a bee's nest! You get stung!
