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. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **

Prompt 23 Little Town
Write a poem about something you do each day, brushing your teeth, showering, cooking, driving etc.

Little Town

Driving through this little town
Streets and alleys up and down
Nothing here to cause a frown
Stucco buildings red and brown

Learning as I go along
Whistling an ancient song
Nothing’s right and nothing’s wrong
With the lyrics of this song

Stucco buildings red and brown
Nothing here to cause a frown
Streets and alleys up and down
Driving through this little town
