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.

Happy First Day of Spring!
Prompt: Baby animals are born in the spring. You can pick any baby animal for a pet. Which one would you choose and why?
---------
I am kind of partial to kittens and puppies because I know a little bit about them. They also stay tame when they grow up. I don’t think it is moral to get any baby animal--just because you think they are cute--and when they grow up you discard them.
If I knew I could send them to a place where they would be getting a good care when they are older, I could go for other feline babies like tiger or lion cubs. I think most baby animals are lovable, anyway. Also, I love all birds who deserve to be wild and free, and baby chicks and ducklings can be delightful to watch, but they should belong with their families in the chicken coop or wherever the farmers keep the duck families.
On the internet, I have been watching from a webcam a bald-headed eagle nest for a few years now, and their eaglets are adorable, but wild animals do belong in the wild and we have no right to try to tame them or keep them as our captives.
