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.

Doubts
Prompt: What do you doubt the most?
=============================
I doubt mostly the certainty in people and possessions.
The things we own, people in our lives, the accolades, and even education we’ve amassed we cannot be certain will stick with us forever and ever. It is very easy to lose one’s wealth, possessions, loved ones, and the honor and fame that comes from other acquisitions. Even our education we can lose if we succumb to a brain disease.
Without disease or bad luck, however, some of those things may stay with us until our deaths.
I also doubt the words of people who excessively believe in their superiority and act condescendingly toward others because, I think, a hidden low opinion of themselves or their background is making them shoot off the mouth.
With the same token, I doubt the correctness of history, any history or a memoir--even though I love history and memoirs written without the help of a ghostwriter--since what is put down as history depends on who remembers what and who notes the events to which purpose.
