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 **

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

Roast Beef an' Yorkshire PopOvers

At every Sunday meal
Embedded in her
From eras gone by

Roast beef and Yorkshire Pop-Overs
As her memories drifted
Back to days gone by

Alas each time the Pop-Overs
She did make they were always a
Hit or miss

It's one of those sides dishes
That always turns out when
Company does not grace your table

30 years of trial and error
30 years later a daughter asks
What is your secret mom to
Your deliciously scrumptious
Yorkshire Pudding Pop-Overs
