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!

Summer Solstice
Prompt: Happy Midsummer's Eve or Midwinter's Eve
Summer solstice or winter solstice depending on where you live and how you see the day.
Use these words in your entry today: faeries, realm, Lilith, stag, bonfire, marshmallows, and supermarket.


-----

Lilith, what an idiot! She believes she has descended from the realm of faeries,” Connor murmured as he searched into the supermarket bag for marshmallows to put on the grill. “Now, she says she’ll accept me if I install a Stag Fire Pit in my backyard, just because today is the Summer Solstice. Who does she think I am? Am I cutting money?”

“You don’t have to do anything,” came Lilith’s voice from behind him. “I took care of it already. Ready for you to jump in.”

Connor turned around to glimpse Lilith as she flew away over the treetops. “Look over there!” she pointed to the biggest bonfire Connor had ever witnessed.

“Oh, no!”

Connor’s house was crackling in flames.
