Gold Certificate of Achievement for my poem, Creating Worlds 

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Creating Worlds

Utterance, words, sentences, verses,
Lines, stories, twirling, twisting, flusters
As they lay on the pages in twisters
As they create order from chaos that pulses,

Dances, rhymes, alliteration,  metaphor,
Personification, all and more catalyze
Into a wondrous tale that’ll organize
A timeline with a setting, incomparable per

It’s being sprung from imperfect
Humans whose despair, loneliness,
Drips into every letter in fitfulness
As they amalgamte into a perfect

Story line intermixing reality,
Fiction,  perception in a sign
That widens others’ perspectives in line
With a new narrative whose harmony

Strives to build a world of empathy,
Peace, understanding, theory
That centers around humanity
And its needs for guidance into morality.

4th Place for my poem, Thunder Clap

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Rhyme, Metaphor,  Epistroph

Thunder CLAP

Thunder clap, clap, clap,
Rip and roar, rev my heart, heart,
Into a thunderous beat, beat,
That trembles along my feet, feet.

Thunder clap, clap, clap,
Lightning flashes followed, followed,
By a horrifying growl, loud, loud,
Louder, shaking my rest as I become lead, lead.

Thunder clap, clap, clap,
You sound like an explosion, explosion,
Rocking the ground in your exposition, exposition,
Of a world alight with trauma’s revision, revision.

Thunder clap, clap, clap,
As the ground quakes in your wake, wake,
I gather my courage trying not to break, break,
My move for fear of what lies awake, awake.

Thunder clap,  clap, clap,
Light my way so you can sway, sway,
My worries into slumber, away, away,
From any darkened abyss that can flay, flay.

Diploma for my poem,  Cradled Moon

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Cradled Moon

Dressed in white, hair, a golden flax,
She lays on the fluffy white cloud
Bent in a fetal position, arms hold
The fluorescent moon under chin, lax,

In rest, she poses a vision of calm
As the moon shines brilliantly
In a frame to keep the fearfully
Looped worries away from her palm,

And creates a luxurious beam
Enrobing her in warmth Of light
As she slumbers in the clouds’ soft, bright
Lumanescence whose role is to brim

With courage and fight against
The terrors within, A heroine never
Given any fame, but like the moon, it’s a killer
Of monsters that create panic, at a cost

Too high to endure, if it were not
For the peaceful moon laying in arms
Breaching the towers of fright, it calms
The dread, horrors that she faught.

Accolade for my poem,  Black Wolf

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Review by Linda Powers O’Dell

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab A wonderful celebration of the wolf’s true nature, Malak. Too often vilified, wolves keep a habitat alive. All animals are innocent, we should honor them in principle. Excellent detailed descriptions and passionate ending!

Black Wolf

Oh ye baronial black wolf
Your golden eyes’ glow fiercely,
Shining a light among the blackest huff
Of dankest hour of the night, stealthily

Preying on his prey in paltry
Moonlight, pupils following, carefully,
Snout sniffing for hidden danger, boastfully,
He lunges on his prey, without mercy,

He kills to assuage his hunger,
That of his pups, pack, no blunder,
No torture, goes directly for the kill, a killer,
No psychopath, no serial killer,

He kills for survival, a part of nature
A force to be reckoned with, pure
Of heart, a defender of family, a purr
Is for happiness, making him more

Humane than a curr.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Break Forgive

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Break, Forgive

Forging forgiveness in volcanic lava
Offers your soul permission to regret
No more your unfavorable decisions that let
Remorse drown your happiness and stray
Into despair. Yet when facing your mistakes,
Answering for your actions alleviates the breaks.

Diploma for my poem,  Deserted Journey

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Deserted Journey

Sunset’s rutilant blaze builds a haze
Over the horizon in hues of oranges,
Golds, reds, that reflect in dust’s foggy blaze,
They’re synchronized into a ballet of ages

Long gone, when the charriot, wagon,
Animals were the only transportation
Where gumption of pioneers were driven
To survive on perilous roads where legislation

Is words dipped in coffee, disolvable,
Empty Of any dominion over Darwin
Law of ‘survival of the fittest’. They gobble
The deserted desert roads diving in

The depth of an unknown terrain
Nature and man, enemies without
Equal, as they unite to entomb pain
In the arid journey where a bout

Between enemies, ‘frenemies’
Is but the flow of the sands of times
Whose loss is intangible for honesty’s
Dissapearing into the skies in forgotten crimes.

Certificate of Distinction for my poem, Lean on Me

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Lean On Me … When

Lean on me
When you’re down on your luck,
When life’s depravity is very dark,
When you’re  feeling blue and stark,

Lean on me
When your hopes are dashed,
When your dreams have crashed,
When your love has been bashed,

Lean on me
When only a friend understands,
When only a friend stands,
When only family is your support strands.

Lean on me
When your celebration is a must,
When your happiness overflows in a bust,
When your ‘crazy’ need a fun beast.

Lean on me
When you’re at your worst,
When you’re at your best,
When you just need a friend.

Certificate of Appreciation for my acrostic poem,  SOMNAMBULISM

SOMNAMBULISM


Sleepwalking, slumbering, seeming awake,
One task down, confusion how it was done,
Maintaining eyes open, yet, still knocking
Nerves on table corners without waking,
Ambling to the door shopping for groceries,
Marveling at how you got there? Walking,
Bustling around completing your
Unconscious mind’s needs without
Leaving anything behind is astounding,
Impressive survival skills while
Sleepwalking is a
Mandatory need for those with parasomnia.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem,  Symphony of Fall

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Symphony of Fall

As the leaves fall singing a last
Hoora to sunny days, warm breezes,
Replaced with a plethora of colors that freezes
On the ground in an array of colors that blast

The verdant greens into yellowish
Greens, oranges,  and burnished reds
That crinkle, crackle beneath our feet as heads
Turn to watch the scene divided by roads of hardship

Where the greens have faded
While the other paints a palette of reds
That burn beauty Within as it delves and heads
Into the sunset with its divided colors shaded

By God’s paintbrush that never
Disappoints those who appreciate
The divinity in the balance, never late,
Always just as it equalizes reality of the creator.
