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 #47 - A Fortune Cookie
by decora Author IconMail Icon
La Fortune Cookie
The best part of a Chinese dinner
La Fortune Cookie

Wisdom or fool hearted
A little note placed inside
Reading the note brings
A smile or worried look
Ah, who cares it’s just for fun

Break open the cookie, gently, gently
The hard rock cookie is quite scrumptious to nibble
While pondering the secret message
What good fortune to find two messages instead of one
Ah, a mixed message of luck or greed in La Fortune Cookie
