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.

"Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself."
CHARLIE CHAPLIN
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.
David Whyte
This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts.

Prompt: "I have a writing addiction." Prince Do you feel like this? Write anything you want about this.
-----
If writing is an addiction, I love my addiction. I wouldn’t call it an addiction, however. It is my choice I fell in willingly. No one forced me into it. Quite the contrary. I was always told to do something more worthwhile, translation: financially beneficial. Sometimes people wanted me to be like them, going after nonsensical, meaningless pursuits that they themselves were involved with. But I chose wisely, even if it was the only wise thing I did in my life.
This is because writing is more beneficial than anything, and it comes so handy toward the end of one’s lifetime. Those of us who love writing are never bored.
As far as writing is concerned, one doesn’t need to bend over her desk day in and day out. We writers write everywhere, even when we lack paper, pen, or something to type on. We write inside our heads. We write about our tough times, our good times, others’ tough and good times, what we observe around us, and what we think and feel about anything.
Writing is the key to our living. It is as important as breathing. It refines us. It keeps us busy. It entertains us. It is our best friend. It is who we tell our most secret thoughts and beliefs.
Writing is like our alter ego. Usually, it gets itself known on paper or screen. Even when it doesn’t, it keeps an office inside our minds.
I think there is nothing better than writing.
