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.

Mother in the Kitchen
Prompt:
Please use these words in your entry today: Mother, accurate, handy, relevance, reckless, swop, fork, and accountable.
----------
Mother in the Kitchen
with *accurate grace, she wields
a knife to teach lessons so
memories can grow, and her story
is told, and tales are unfold,
tuning a *fork in time
for each bite, she sends a wish, and
lines the dish with her *handy touch
but no *reckless plays, yet, *relevance
and dare, for in mother's care,* swops
of spices align with her sweet ways
