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.

Daily Cascade
Since my old blog "Everyday Canvas " became overfilled, here's a new one. This new blog item will continue answering prompts, the same as the old one.
Cool water cascading to low ground
To spread good will and hope all around.

Prompt:
Use the following words to create a story or poem.
Words: dance, castle, onion, grinder, screamer, glamor, cougar, reckless, zebra
-----------*
Moon Dance
A *zebra met a *cougar
to *dance by the *castle gate,
both twirled with *glamor,
*reckless, laughing at their fate
and at an *onion wearing a crown
while a *grinder was humming down
a tune, and then, the pair-- in stripes
and spots--bowed to a *screamer owl's
applause, howling wildly at their type,
while these two moonwalked, side by side,
making Michael Jackson jealous
and so what, if my poem is too zealous!
