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. Kiya's gift. I love it!

confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

Prompt: What did you love about Easter as a child? How do you feel about Easter now that you're older?

=============

I always loved the bunny stories. The rest of the stuff tired me out. I especially liked Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit stories. I think that is still a good book for children with all kinds of animal tales in it. I was already reading at a very young age, so I read them to my imaginary friend, whose existence scared my mother. I recall a fierce, bad, naughty rabbit and a good one, and Peter Rabbit who defied his mother and went into someone’s garden where he had to hide to save his life.

I also liked Brer Rabbit for being a trickster and a rascal. Uncle Remus’s stories, I think, was that book.

Aside from those and other similar books, I didn’t care much about the holidays, on account of the clothing which was usually a problem. I always picked a nice summery dress to wear, but then at the last moment if the weather was cold, and it was usually cold, they would make me wear long stockings and a coat over it. I would get furious because of it.

As to my adult feelings on any holiday, they are more or less the same. I’d rather be walking on the sand at the beach than follow any rituals. Plus, I found out that the Energizer bunny is more helpful than the Easter bunny especially if the batteries last longer in my reading lamps. *Wink* *Smile*
