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: What does it mean to become Full Circle? Write your thoughts on this.
Full circle means completing a cycle. Some novel plots, for example begin at one place and after a long series of scenes, they arrive at their ending where the beginning situation although changed, for better or worse, still exists.
In a person’s life, people, places, and events come and go, and at the end, they may still be around the same person, after being somewhat changed but also having contributed to his growth.
Prompt: "There's nothing more tiring then waiting for something to happen." Cora Downton Abbey
Do you agree? What are your thoughts on this?
If one knows when the waiting will be over, it should not be too much of a problem. One can pass the time doing what needs to be done or whatever he or she can do during the waiting period. The ability to wait has to do with patience. That is why developing one’s capacity to be patient is a good idea.
The worst kind of waiting is in the unknowing, especially while dealing with fears and anxieties serious life changes bring. Then the emotional strain takes its toll. This kind of waiting is painful, but not knowing how to handle the waiting can be the worst kind of suffering. Then, instead of waiting, taking some kind of an action can be the way to go. For example, instead of waiting for a lotto winning, starting a business or any type of a production that can bring monetary results can be more practical.
Today’s on-the-road observation:
This afternoon, we had to follow a truck on a busy road. The writing in the back of the truck made me grin.
“LA- Z- BOY- Truck
Caution:
This truck contains extremely comfortable material.”
