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.

Prompt:
If you could relive one year of your life, what year would you choose? Why?
-------
If I really had to choose, it would have to be the time about two or more years before I was born. Just kidding!
Fact is, I wouldn't want to go back to any one year to relive the whole thing again. I could relive some events and be with some people who are no more, and even enjoy some stretches of time within a year. I might like that, but not a whole entire year.
In general, though, looking at the ways of the world, I've had a happier life than possibly half the world, but I go by the motto, "What's done is done!" That is another reason I wouldn't want to relive another whole year, especially one in the past, knowing that this, again, will be over.
This nice prompt reminded me of the movie, The Groundhog Day. My late husband and I watched it at a movie theater. I think it was the early 1990s, although I can't recall which year. If we were to be watching it on the TV at home, I would probably left the room and read a book or something. I'm not saying anything against this movie, by the way. I think it was a very well-acted film with a thoughtful plot, but it was not for me.
As I mentioned earlier, I'm just not into repetitions, especially those that take such a long time. But then, "time flies," they say, also. Maybe that is because my time, too, has flown quite fast, and maybe for that reason alone, I can't stand long-term repetitions.
