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.

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

Prompt: "Do or Do Not, There is no try." Yoda-Star Wars Write your views on this.
----
Of course, and I love Yoda; although, if you judge the do’s by their outcomes, all my do’s translate to try’s.
Joking aside, hesitation is not a good thing. I don’t hesitate, something in my favor. Doing one’s best without hesitating is the only sane way, which this doesn’t mean one should jump into doing something without judgment either. After weighing the facts, hesitation is unnecessary.
Prompt: What things are you sensitive about?
----
• When people are hurt, sick, upset, or in dire straits and I can’t do anything about it.
• When someone wrongly accuses someone else and there isn’t much I can do about it.
• When people or groups create anarchy when there isn’t enough reason for it.
• When my goodwill or good thoughts are taken as their opposites.
• I worry that I’ll get sick and be a burden to others even if they are professionals like nurses and caretakers.
