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: For a brilliant writing idea, what wins for you most of the time? An Ahha moment, being 100 percent sure of knowing something, the search for an idea, or your expertise?
================
All of the above have worked for me, but the Ahha moment is my favorite; however, my Ahha moments come at the most inopportune times. Even if I may have noted a reminder word or two somewhere, somehow, when I get back to writing on it, the magic is gone, and I wonder why that idea appealed to me, but then on a rare occasion, the magic is still there. 
I usually come across good ideas while I am doing something else. Yesterday, for example, while cleaning out a closet, I found some flash cards with pictures on them on a certain subject. I thought of writing something for each of those cards and putting it together as one item. So I didn’t throw them out. Unfortunately for my housekeeping, this always happens. I also get similar or totally different ideas while reading poetry. There are poems that have caused fiction in my writing.
The search always bears fruit, though. That fruit may be sour or bitter but I always produce something out of it.

And for laughs…although I may have to raise the rating on my blog…
I received an e-mail from an unknown someone or some company, and now I think they know something about me that I don’t know about myself, something about who I used to be. Maybe this is another Ahha Moment!
Without much ado, here’s the subject line in blue that I snipped from my e-mail addy, which you may need to click on or just point to, to make it bigger (no pun intended):
