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. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Prompt 8 -- Trifle

TRIFLE -- A Recipe

Get yourself a fancy bowl, crystal maybe,
the fancier the better, to light up the room.

                    Exhale a mouthful of air,
                   a dose of hope with zeal so rare.

At the bottom and around the bowl,
layer and arrange the ladyfingers.

                   Your tenderness decides the affair,
                   so, step back and stare at finery’s fair,

Add pudding mixture prepared ahead of time;
next, fruit pieces and slices. Don’t forget the dices.

                   Along with your whim, let your talent thunder,
                   whatever he touches will become your hunger.

Repeat the process three times over,
for a pretty pattern of waves, inside the bowl.

                   Navigate the panting, steer through the sighs;
                   just live the moment, forget the whys.

Then end the layering with
the last stratum of pudding.

                   Forever fixed at beauty is your gaze,
                   a different place, your face ablaze

Top it with berries, crown it with cream,
chill to serve later with toasted almonds.

                   Your smoothness, a masking sham,
                   but you deserve a “Thank-you-Ma’am!”

Now you know where you stand
for reinventing yourself through a trifle.
