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!

How about That Carry-On?
Prompt: What is something you always take when you go on vacation?

----------

*Rolling* My first reactionary answer is: My mind or what’s left of it.

Joking aside, it has to be one or all of these depending on where I am going and how long--after the bare necessities of underwear, clothes, and medication: cellphone, purse, laptop, e-reader.

If the vacation is two days or less, just the cellphone (I finally got a Samsung) will be enough. Longer than that, my laptop will be added. I used to carry an e-reader everywhere, but I can read on the Android, so my favorite e-reader has been relocated from my purse to the bedroom. The other e-readers reside in different rooms of the house.

Since I always have several pens, a tiny pad, and loose papers in my purse, I can satisfy my longing for old fashioned writing tools You have no idea how strong that longing hits when it does.

Fact is we used to travel an awful lot, but now, I’ve turned into a homebody, which my hubby isn’t very happy about, but I made it a take-it-or-leave-it thing, and he had to concede. Thus, even my thinking about this is probably obsolete, but I couldn’t help myself just like my longing for old-fashioned tools.
