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.

Good Things...
Prompt: What are the best things in your life right now? Write about this in your Blog entry today.
-------
Best things? That's difficult to judge. I have okay things and good-enough things in my life, at the moment. I guess I should say, then, my sons are the best things in my life. After them come the extended family and friends. Then, maybe waking up in the morning and feeling surprised that I'm still alive.
Another best thing would be if, in my area, if we wouldn't get hit with a hurricane this hurricane season.
So, I'm not sure of any other "best" things, but I can make a short list of good things that come to my mind whether they are in my life or not. Here it goes:
Poetry that reflects experiences and feelings
Well-written books
Audio-books, essays, etc.
Good dreams
All animals, especially cats
Bird songs
Friendly smiles and words from strangers
Trees waving in the breeze
The smell of new books
Walking in the rain and the sound of the rain
The smell of the air after the rain
Word puzzles
Dark chocolate
Music
The sound of the waves by the seaside
Cold water on a hot day
Roses and other flowers
People helping one another and charities
People sharing their knowledge and encouragement
People who can fix and mend things, unlike some repairmen who take your money and they don't produce any positive outcome as the result of their work
