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!

Thoughts on a Closed-Door
Prompt: What does the phrase “Closed Door” mean to you? If there is such a situation, what’s behind the door? Why is it closed?

---


A closed-door means that something or someone inside doesn’t want to be exposed for any reason. It might be something horrific, something secret, or something that’s being formulated as a surprise or shock for later.

One way to have closed-door opened is to come up with a clever, polite request, which may have the capacity to open closed doors and also, closed minds.

Another way could be that I might knock gently on a closed door, but if it still doesn’t open, I won’t linger and worry why that door is closed. Instead, I’d look for another door that opens when it sees me. That might be a better option that might have been meant for me to take. If a door I want to open--such as a career choice or a personal wish--is closed at my face, then I’ll think that wasn’t meant for me, and I am sure powers-that-be have something more beneficial for my life instead. So, I’ll look for opportunities elsewhere.

Yet, if someone shuts me in a room and closes the door on me so that I can’t get out, then I am going to kick that door open because I will not allow anyone to shut me, to let me rot, or shame me into silence without my consent.
