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.

Everyday Moments
Prompt: Write a poem that reflects on the beauty of everyday moments.
============
Moments
to daybreak's peace, I wake up
surprised to be alive still
and will for a cup, brewed tea that is
to revive me in its mist, and fill
me with warmth, for in the plan,
in a well-worn pan, breakfast sizzles
then, I make the bed for a start
and feed the cat, an old fart, like me
and our ticking clock hurries its stride
in a flowing tide, dancing through time
with stories to tell, books to read
things to do, until the dusk sheds its hue
to her soft spoken meows, I dim the light
and we sign in for a quiet night
