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.

Bad Temper
Prompt: Creation Saturday strikes again--
use these words in your writing task: orange, toothbrush, grains, sunrise, apple, poison, and groan
Bad Temper
Arrgh! Soup’s gone too thick
with barley grains…
Then, spotting orange and apple peels
spilled on kitchen tiles
I need to shriek
who’ll pluck them up, now!
Instead, I rush for the broom.
Later, a gray hair on my toothbrush,
my annoyance is filled to capacity,
I gag and groan as if it were poison
but suddenly, I grin, recalling
our first sunrise, after which
you stuck with me
despite my bad temper.
