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.

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: Describe your perfect weekend getaway.
-----
A weekend getaway? A weekend is too short. I’d like at least a week’s getaway.
Since I’ve traveled more than enough in my life, I’d like to go to a quiet place with a window in my room that has the water-view of a lake, river, or ocean. A place where I can take walks early in the morning and late in the evening. A place where the meals are sent to the rooms which have usable kitchens, too, where I could prepare things for myself if I so wish. A place where deliveries from the outside can be made, also, since I’ll need provisions.
This I want because during the day, I’ll read and write to my heart’s content.
Gosh, without realizing, I just wrote about a writing retreat, self-made, while sounding like Greta Garbo who is purported to have said. “I want to be alone,” which she later denied saying that but she admitted to saying, “I want to be let alone.”
I don’t want to be alone all my days, but I’d like to have some me-time for reading and writing that is free of interruptions.
