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!

Gifts
"On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me a partridge in a pear tree" Let's talk about gift giving. What was the first gift you received from your spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend for Christmas? What did you give them? If you don't celebrate Christmas discuss the first gift you received or gave. Was the gift practical or whimsical?

Who doesn’t like giving and receiving gifts!

I love giving gifts and receiving them, too, but gifts that are most important to me are not the ones given to me because of a celebration, be it Christmas, an Anniversary or my birthday. I really appreciate gifts that surprise me for no reason at all and when given on a regular day.

The best gifts I received were a poem, a kiss, a handshake with a token that congratulated something I once did, and most recently, a year’s WdC premium membership. This is because, material or otherwise, I love gifts that are given to encourage me or just because the other person liked something about me. Am I self-centered or what! *Wink*

I do give gifts on Christmas, holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations etc. Still when it comes to receiving them, I appreciate all gifts, but I like surprises much better.
