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. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Prince William's Guiding Principles
Prompt: "My guiding principles in life are to be honest, genuine, thoughtful and caring." Prince William Do you agree with Prince William?

-----

Do I agree with what Prince William says about himself? *Wink* I wouldn’t know exactly if the Prince is really honest, genuine, thoughtful and caring, but since he says these are his guiding principles, I’d take his word for it. My impression of him, from what the media reflects, is very good, though.

Since he is a prince and is in a leadership position (and he might become a king sooner or later), I think his basic guiding principles need additions, such as: seeking excellence in his endeavors, challenging himself always, being a coach, partner, or a mentor to those who seek his advice, being self-aware and checking his ego often, helping talents in the kingdom to succeed.

Yet, Prince William’s basic guiding principles are good for me, too; although, I would like to be following those and other high ideals without being conscious of them or voicing them openly. Those things should become parts of me like my skin or internal organs, and I don’t really talk about my skin or internal organs, do I! *Wink*
