WORLD POETRY DAY


double acrostic

Wondrous words Whirl around and
Over a reality created by wOrlds in images, that are
Readily available foR consumption,
Leading to leveling the fieLd of wonder
Down into a frozen Dream filled with rhyming

Poetic world made up of a Plethora
Of offerings of a utopian bOunty imagined by an
Eternal imagination nevEr grinding
To a stop, as its renewed Tunneling to greater
Rewards as newer worlds aRe revealed
Yearning for the crY of revelations.

Triple Silver Certificate for poem: Wander at Night

Wander at Night

Exert

A night
When the moon is shining bright
Lights up the darkened road as he
Walks alone, with his cane

Illuminating his path at night
As the forests and mountains fight
To cover the dirt road combating
For supremacy, as he walks by thinking…

No

Are you superstitious?

I believe in destiny and fate, not superstitions that are illogical, like a Wishing well, or black cat walking under a ladder bringing bad luck, or number 13, you get the drift. So, no, I’m not destined to believe that superstitions are real, but rather, one has a destiny that’s preordained, but one has a choice of achieving it the righteous way, or not.

Certificate of Appreciation

Exert of my poem: Home Bound. It received a certificate of appreciation.

Home Bound

I’ve traveled far and long,
The journey was arduous
With many upheavals that long
For calm introspection, that’s generous

As hindsight will always
Bog you in regret, like a fog
That never dissipates and plays
Havoc with emotions that leap like a frog…

PALESTINIAN WOMEN SUFFER


Acrostic

Patriots empower the pulverized
Assuming their ability to unify
Leads to greater support
Even when each woman, mother,
Sister, daughter, grandmother has
Truly experienced the power of loss.
In the 150 days of escalations
Neighborhoods have been decimated,
Ire has risen, family trees cut,
Ample theft of property and Palestinians,
Nearly overflowing skin banks with

Women, children, and men’s skins and
Organs are sold illegally, turning a profit,
Meaning Palestinians are being Israeled in
Every way possible. Women
Needing c-section and complicated

Surgeries without anesthesia
Under a cacophony of bombs, snipers
Fixating on murder of medical staff, never
Fearing paying the piper, as they’re
Empowered by arms and tech that
Reveals their cowardice and courage of women survivors.

Women around the world keep your eyes on these courageous women, as the difficulties they’re overcoming are unimaginable.

Ideal Woman

Honoring women around the world!

Ideal Woman

Mother, daughter, sister, wife, friend,
All are one and the same in muslim women.
We hear what we need,
We mishear what we deem reprehensible!

We learn early the need for compromise, understanding,
And flexibility which are requirements of survival
In a world where the ‘I’ is more important than fighting
For togetherness, unity, and equality. Rather,
It’s replaced by the needs of the individual!

They surpass and prevail over the duties of the whole,
Whether that be the couple, nuclear and extended
Family which help fortify and solidify the need,
More, the essential requirements of values, ethics, and religiously
Equitable interactions that eliminate racism and all that’s dicrimatory.

We have to seem ‘perfect’ in both appearance and morality.
We have to be learned, open minded, not fearfully
Aware that we can be imperfect, human, and loving.
Not being the epitome of everything only highlights your humanity.

Opinion prompt

What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.

I hate being asked if all Muslims are terrorists. This question has been around for centuries now, and as yet, people haven’t been educated enough to realize that Muslims are a peaceful lot in general. The word, Muslim, means peace, which is indoctrinated within Muslims to be at peace within themselves and with their entourage. This means that they seek peace through their prayers and reading of the quoraan in order to learn and apply that peace in their lives.

Yes, there are some Muslim terrorists but those who kill indiscriminately women and children, in my eyes aren’t true Muslims, as Islam teaches us to honor our women, especially mothers under whose prayers and goodwill opens the gates of heaven. Therefore, I implore those with that question to do some research because that question hurts believers unbearably.
