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:
There's a new month coming, with new intentions, new goals, new love, new light, and new beginnings. What's happening next month for you?


-------

February? It isn't here, yet. How can I know what happens then. I stopped coming up with new anything like goals, intentions, etc., some time ago. I only write daily to-do lists.

Still, since the prompt asks for it, let me take a look. On the personal front, February 12 is my younger son's birthday. He may never be a president but his birthday is among those of the presidents.

On February 11, International Day of Women and Girls in Science will celebrate the women and girls in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. That is really something to be be happy about.

Then, Chinese Olympics would be fun but I'm not into Olympics. As to Winter Olympics, I only watched them with my husband and because he was into such stuff.

Now, I think I'd rather read a book or two. That's what I usually do in any month if life itself doesn't throw a wrench at it. Come to think of it, reading is exactly what I'm planning to do in February.
