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.

Is there such a thing as a perfect day?
Prompt: "Isn't it good just to be alive on a day like this?" Describe a perfect day.
-----------
I don't know what a perfect day would be like. Then, maybe if one accepts all the ups and downs, any day could be deemed perfect. I think, therefore, whether a day is perfect or not depends on our assessment of it.
Then sometimes, a simple, almost eventless day could seem perfect to some; however, if we had such days one after the other, we would be bored stiff, wouldn't we? This means a perfect day is a subjective experience because what one person considers a perfect day might differ from another's ideal day.
As to the quote in the prompt, I think it is good to be alive on any day. We are alive, according to my thinking, because it is the only thing we know and just maybe, there are a few good reasons in being alive for us to find out.
Some of those good reasons could be: we get to experience the beauty of the natural world; all the people we love who love us in return; we grow and change every day, sometimes in slow increments, other times suddenly and in a huge way; we get to help others as helping others has a built-in satisfaction in itself; then, we may experience the joy of discovery of ideas, people, and best yet, ourselves.
May all our days be perfectly satisfactory!
