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.

Angels among Us
Prompt: "I heard an angel speak last night and she said: "Write!" Elizabeth Barrett Browning Do you ever feel like an angel has talked to you?"
=====================
All the time, though not through words specifically in speaking. Of course, this, too, depends on your definition of an angel.
Still, no angel told me to write. It was my uncle first, then my teachers in Grade, Middle, and High schools. I guess I can call them angels.
Angels or rather the idea of angels have been around in human minds since the birth of humanity, but who can say what an angel is? Even the spiritual people or the people of religions cannot agree on their shapes and what they are. Yet, most agree that not all angels need to have wings as imagined by most.
Angels write to me, review my work, and send me C-notes and other goodies to lift my spirits up, right here in WdC. 
Then, there are unseen angels who warn me if a danger is lurking somewhere. Their advice comes in some form of my intuition.
There are also angels when I feel I am in a bind and, lo and behold, the whole thing suddenly clears up. The kudos in such cases has to go to the angels or unseen forces of some kind.
Before the Internet, I would go to a bookstore to find information on a specific subject. Once or twice, such books fell on me from the upper shelves. Now, who sent those books down to me, while the store’s staff were either at the registers or somewhere else? “Ask and you shall receive” is the promise, yes, but who carries that promise to its finish line?
Then maybe, the most important angels take the human form and they live among us as humans. Maybe us humans have the inclination to act as angels from time to time. Being angelic doesn’t necessarily mean you have to have two wings and you cannot live like people. The goodness in people is what may turn them into angels, too.
