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.

Deadlines, Laws, Weather
Prompt: How do you respond under pressure...deadlines, due dates, tests, etc.?
========
First, I try not to panic. Then I make the time, get to work, and do the best that I can. If my output doesn’t live up my or anyone else’s expectation, so be it. I have worked with tight deadlines in the past and I was okay with that, but I wouldn’t like to be pushed around again, in my later years.
Some people need and crave deadlines; otherwise, they procrastinate. That isn’t me. I’d rather have some kind of a time limit but a flexible one.
Prompt: You've been given diplomatic immunity. Would you break any laws knowing you'd never get prosecuted for it? If so, which ones?
To start with, I try not to break any laws, diplomatic immunity or not.
Let me think of a situation, though. If someone is hurt in some way and I can do something about it, I will. I am not going to stop and ask, “Are you a criminal, an illegal alien, or running away from the law in some way?” I might still ask those things, but after I’ve given a person any help that I can give.
Prompt: Maybe it's just the lack of sunlight, the weather itself but I've been in a dark place emotionally. What about you? Does the weather impact your moods?
Sorry, you aren’t feeling up to par.
The weather itself doesn’t affect me. I am adaptable with that.
Yet, the results of what the weather causes can make me upset, like what happens after a hurricane, the mess I have to clean up and the people I need to find to fix the broken parts of the house.
In cold, icy, snowy weather, when we had the 300 feet driveway and I had to shovel when others couldn’t, that used to make me upset.
If I lived in California, which I wouldn’t want to for many reasons, I wouldn’t like to go through what those people are going through with the earthquakes, fires, and mudslides. Just watching them on the news makes me upset.
