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!

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.

Prompt: If you were to create your very own holiday or celebration, what would it be and how would you celebrate it?

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

This might be a far-fetched entry, but I can’t help myself; I always dream big.

If I could have a special celebration for anything, I would have a birthday-day, but not on my birthday, on any one specified day of the year. This day would celebrate the birth of all human beings whether they evolved and mutated from Homo Sapiens, Neanderthals, or any other early Homo Erectus types that the scientists keep finding out about. After all, I feel attached and somewhat indebted to my species. Then I would celebrate that day by declaring world peace and asking people to stop all wars anywhere on that day. I know they wouldn’t stop them year-long, being who humans are, but maybe just for one day, I might be able to persuade them. After all, it is a celebration, right?

But that wouldn’t be all. I would also have a celebratory day for the invention of writing implements. On that day, every single person on earth would get a pen, pencil, type-pad, or something similar. And for celebration, everyone would write a sentence or a paragraph or as much as they want on any subject they wish.

One more thing! No cakes for my celebrations. We’re fat or unhealthy as it is. Everyone will get an apple or a carrot or any other fruit.

Can I get people to celebrate with me? I really don’t think so, but it is delightful to dream, sometimes. *Laugh**Rolling*
