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.

Days and People
Dedicate a day to myself? The thought didn’t even cross my mind, ever. I don’t even like celebrating my b’day. If anyone ever dedicated a day to me, I would run and hide under the table like the times I used to do when I was a little kid. I would rather watch other people and celebrate them. They make my life worthwhile.
Then, why dedicate a day to me if given the chance? No, I wouldn’t want that. I don’t want a big head, ever, as I am neither more nor less important than the people who populate this earth. I would, however, love to have a day dedicated to humanity, a day where everyone is encouraged to behave as civilized, kindly, and loving to one another.

Prompt: When was the last time you dedicated a day to yourself? If you have, share the details and their effects on you at the end of the day. If you haven't, why not, and would you if given the chance?
