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.

Music and thinking---September 16
Prompt: Music is the art of thinking with sounds. Do you agree?
=============
I don’t know whether I agree or not, because I feel music; I don’t think it. Music, however, does effect the brain, as it has been shown in some studies, such as the claim of the Mozart Effect increasing intelligence. This I am not too sure of, since I listen to Mozart a lot because I like its sprightliness, and my intelligence…oh, well…let’s not go there.
In addition, to accurately say what music is would be talking over my head. So far that I know of, no one has been able to perfectly define music. Yet, we all know what music is.
The factors that combine to form music are natural in origin, from the tempo and the sounds of nature such as the rain falling or the sound of waves, or they may even be coming from inside us, inside the sounds and rhythms of our physical bodies, while our brains may be analyzing all this data. The brain could have a say in it, but I feel happy, or sad, or moody, depending on what I am listening to, and those to me are feelings.
To wrap it up, my music perception comes through moods and feelings, not because my brain makes me think logically, in terms of cause and effect.
