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 # 32 "Yogi Berra"
Some call me "Lawdie" some don't call me at all!
Some think I'm cartoon-ish, put my back against the wall.
Some think I'm angry, but most know I'm Cool!
Some wish I'd sit back and not push the rules.
Some walked me tirelessly across memories floor,
some call me "Berra", 'cause they don't know anymore!
But, you can call me 'Yogi", for I have news for you!
"Half the lies they tell about me aren't true!"
