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!

Rose-Colored Glasses
Prompt: How would you see the world through rose-colored glasses?

---

A song says:
“These rose colored glasses
That I'm looking through
Show only the beauty
'Cause they hide all the truth”


Exactly my point. That is why I do not wear them. At least, I try not to, which is kind of difficult because I am an optimist, especially when it comes to people.

How would I see the world if I dared wear them? There comes a mouthful.

What I see/imagine has to include the entire planet. If we pick on the USA or any one nation, it won’t work.

I guess I’d start with no wars, no tariffs, no visas, no misunderstandings. Clean air, clean oceans, and clean land, respect for animals and all life. Respect and understanding among all people. Respect for all theological beliefs. Children and people with disabilities to be given utmost care and compassion.

Not doable!

I know that is all too much to hope for but you forced those rose-colored glasses on this realist.
