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!

Separation Anxiety
Prompt: What things in your life have caused you to have separation anxiety?

========

Separation anxiety is an abnormal clinging to a person, situation, or even a thing.

Separation anxiety are usually seen in children. That is why playing peek-a-boo with babies is good. It makes them realize someone they think is gone is there but not seen easily. I don't recall being clingy to anyone in my life; maybe I was in childhood but I don't recall it or anyone talking about me being clingy.

This is probably because I don’t normally cling to places or things, but people getting seriously sick usually unnerves me. I might have a slight separation anxiety concerning my husband as he is older than me and we have been together more than half a century, but it is not to the degree that it renders me useless, and I don’t really cling to him in the first place.

I might have other worries, mostly hidden and very slight though, like being in an accident, being incapacitated to a degree that I can’t do anything for myself, a hurricane hitting the area, or something bad happening to my children, neighbors, or friends. But none of these worries is so bad that I can’t function. I just don't like it when such a thought occurs in my head.
