Accolade and Review of my poem,  Free Speech

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Free Speech

Black cap and gown covering her
Blue eyes and Golden spun hair,
While the inspirational Statue of Liberty
Dares to hold its hand, plainly

Trying to obstruct her from
Speaking her mind, daring to come
Forward with the truth to resound
In media’s intifada while bound

In their thirst for FREE Speech
As they’re jailed for taking things out of reach
Of politicians suppressing truth
As the people dying aren’t white, but are couth

In their protests, while the police
Take away over two thousand in a thrice
To reduce the Roar for justice
That can never be returned to those advocating for peace.

Your time in office is running out
Ye of powerful friends in high places, scurry in a bout
Of flurried activities,  hidden from sight,
To better attain your objective: Money and Flight!

Award of Excellence for my acrostic poem,  IDIOSYNCRASY

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

IDIOSYNCRACY

I diotic habits reveal your character
D ive into your idiosyncrasies, unique
I n their ability to convey your thoughts
O ver ideologies, news, politics,
S ystems of economy, integration,
Y ule tidings of compassion, empathy,
N ever ending supply of understanding
C aring for others is our new idiosyncrasy
R evealing our humanity is still
A live and kicking, simple
C are of knowing yourself as human, imperfect
Y et still childish enough to laugh at yourself.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Funny Sunday

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Funy Sunday

On a sunny Sunday afternoon
Their wedding Masquerade in bloom,
People dressed glowing like the moon,
While the bride and groom

Joined them in their masked
Costumes, white from head to toe,
Shiny raven black not a crow, but a bow tied
To suffocate instead of decorate the flow.

As they enter, ghouls and ghosts
Creep in droves, while Dracula drools
Over the succulent live meals in hosts,
Pros, Neffertiti, doctors, astronauts, all in pools

Surround the bride in fear as they
Prey on the dark dressed groom, whose
Tux became fodder for pirates, parrots play
Their roles driving the bride over plank in pose

Of defeat, death, depravity has no end.
But, wait! Who’s there? What’s that?
The bride swings from trees, Jane, whose bend
Of hand holds arms of freedom in a vat,

A cauldron where newt guts, brains
Of vultures, nightshade, blood that overflows
As it bublles up, swallows all it touches, cranes
Its flow into corners not to miss any blows.

Watch the witchy, whaling, warbling,
Black pointed hat flying into the air
Sprinkling her brew that’s consuming
All in a blinding jiffy like a pair in fiery flair.

Diploma for my poem, Oh Dove

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Oh Dove

Oh ye peaceful dove,
Soar into freedom’s embrace,
Share your innocence and grace,
Share beauty that one can’t replace,

Hover over those whose hope:
Has perished in a land of explosives,
Has disintegrated with skin that dissolves
From chemicals that strain lives

With loss that’s Insurmountable,
While death is the sea they wade
In, suffering is the breath that’s made
Of toxins that suffocate, all have laid

A foundation for hopelessness.
Yet, the dove, still, waves its banner
Of aspirations for a future greater
Than the sum of deadly crater

That entombs the unbeliever
Who’s given up a future plan
He can not imagine in the peril that glean
A harvest of emptiness when life’s élan

Is a more powerful force of
Life alongside the price of a knife.

I’m Flabbergasted by these stats

I’ve usually taken to checking the stats for my blog, and received a birthday gift worthy of billions: 332 views in the past week.  The most I’ve ever gotten was 58.  So, I thank you fellow readers, followers,  friends, family who are my secondary support system for my writing.  I believe I’ve grown as a writer who has a social conscience that reverbarates in my writing.   I also believe that my optimism  and hope are clearly reflected,  which also attracts readers.

I pledge to write more and share with you my favorite pieces, or those that are favored! 😅

Award of Appreciation for my acrostic poem,  PHILOSOPHY

Thank you for the honor and your hard work

Acrostic
PHILOSOPHY

Pile the perspectives of centuries of philosophies
Humming different tunes in harmony
Interpreting the meaning of life differently
Losing leverage over life when it reduces,
Oversimplifies realities into ideology that’s
Secularly scientific without delving deeper
Omitting hidden truths for
Pushing their story, ideology that
Hinders understanding the larger vision
Yet to be seen when your blinders reveal.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem,  Rutilant’s Beauty

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Rutilant’s Beauty

The rutilant light shimmered
A vision of beauty caressing
The flow of life that’s endangered
By chaos, war, and debauchery swinging
Their hammer of perception
As the one and only
Equation for life’s classification
Of rank, race, religion all blindly
Followed without question,
Critiquing is just an objection
To a reality that needs annihilation,
A rebuilding of ethics, an abbreviation
For strength of character that’s
Created trends, not followers of What’s
Unimportant: superficial beauties,
Revamped through surgeries
All looking like barbies
None too human, as they’re
Plastic, artificial,  unreal fear
Of loosing beauty’s power.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem,  Pumpkin

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Pumpkin

Who am I?
I’m orange, oblong, striped,
And used by Cinderella’s
Fairy godmother in a chariot
Fit for a princess!

Who am I?
I’m still orange, some yellow,
Others green and pear like,
It’s used with a scarecrow
To scare off birds and scavengers, kite
Like in their freedom to perch, alone.

Who am I?
I’m the perfect accoutrement
To Thanksgiving dinners with
Joy, appreciation, laughter that comment
On the importance of being together with our breath
Mingling with loved ones in a moment we treasure.

Who am I?
I’m the unsung hero of Thanksgiving
Used in sweet and savory dishes
Used as a lamp for decoration of living
Homes who create a world of grinches,
Monsters, ghosts, and gools for entertaining.

Platinum Award for our poem, Curve of Rainbow Arc

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Birendu Kumar Sinha
Country.. India
Collab with Malak of Canada 🇨🇦
#RainbowOfHope

CURVE OF RAINBOW ARC 🌈

Behold the rainbow in the long dark night
With seven colours glowing bright
When darkness encircles all around
Nothing is visible no humanity found
Rainbow  appears with light of hope
For a drowning man it is a saving rope

My cottage of existence is in turmoil
My patience and faith is a vicious trial
In distress I need power of resistance
Keep my cool never lose my patience
I need resilience to bear loss and pain
Sunshine comes after stormy rain

Hope shall show you your destined way
Bring bright sunshine after a rainy day
A tunnel appears  with light at the end
My moribund hope to rainbow ascend
Dispel life’s gloom illumine deep dark
What a miracle this curving lightened arc

Pierce through clouds and move along
Behold rainbow of hope and  feel strong

©️Birendu Kumar Sinha from India©️

As the brilliantly colored rainbow shines
Over the besieged, abyssimal land in fines
Of colors that lighten the wary spirit
As it moves from chaos’ reign into a spit
Of lava that builds heat without thunder
A slow wave that crackles a body asunder

As the surges ripple around in brine
And fire, depravity reigns its evil pine
Over mankind’s mind, littering
It with success, money, fame, sporting
Them as badges of honor, empty
Of faith, values that combat immorality.

As the rainbow shines its might,
It reaches within the shadows and fight
The oppressive power of trends that cement
Disorder, debaucher, chaos, that fragment
The tender soul into Humpty’s Dumpty
Pieces impossible to put back as they’re empty

Of value reflected in the colored rainbow
That shines its brilliance, it’s never cowed.

Certificate Award for my poem, Heart’s Dialogue

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Heart’s Dialogue

Oh heart!
If you could speak
What would you say? A beat,
Two, three, a squeak,

A tweet, a butterfly’s wing
Swings in soaring flight
Letting the beats sing
Their song of freedom, bright

Diurnal light shimmers
In flight a beat of harmony
Starting within, speakers
Belt out optimism’s loyalty

To faith, Belief, humanity
Wearing blinders to pressures,
Social, career, imitators, honesty
That seems to be researchers

Of one’s identity in a world
Teaming with too much variety
Of labels that grind and bind
Our conformity into piety,

While the heart stomps
Into a tamtrum of morality
That doesn’t blend but clamps
Its hold, trying to drown your honesty.

Let your heart speak
It won’t steer you in directions
That deepen the morass that’s belak,
Rather to happiness filled adulation.
