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.

"Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself."
CHARLIE CHAPLIN
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.

This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts.

Prompt: What's your favorite Saturday activity?
-------
Many activities exist on Saturdays that can be favorites. In my case, my favorite activities are not bound to the days of the week, more so when the mood strikes me.
Come to think of it, stargazing on a Saturday evening would be fun, if with this scorching heat this year, the evening rains wouldn't get in the way. I always thought that the night, any night, as being something magical with the sky offering a sense of wonder and perspective.
Reading and writing could be another venue but I do those everyday anyway. Taking a short walk could be yet another thing, but not in this hot weather during this time of the year.
Nicely brewed and prepared coffee and tea is also a fun thing to do, but more likely tea in my case, since my cardiologist would flip if he found out I even mentioned the word coffee.
Today, though, I'll probably bake something, which baking always entertains me. I usually bake while listening to books on tape and I get to have double the fun that way. Then, I may watch a travel video while enjoying a cup of something. So, this will be for this Saturday.
About other Saturdays later on, I don't know yet. I'll let them take care of themselves as they come and go like the breeze with whatever I wish to do in their moment.
