Accolade for my poem,  Blue’s Castle

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Blue’s Castle

On a baby blue sky day, the castle
Enrobed in golden rays shining
Off arched windows, bright ball
Reflecting the lives, deaths that call

Out to the living, teaching wisdom
From history etched on walls,
There’s always a place and time
For all around to learn and come

To conclusions that help the living
Improve their plight by learning
From history’s lessons without any whispering
Of war or fight that has corpses lying

Out of sight. The whale statue adorning
The outer walls, inviting, spontaneous warning:
All to enter its domain, peering
Into a long gone era of traversing

Centuries of wisdom runs into
The Renaissance era of science
That delves into all that’s tangible, a foe
To faith that’s documented in books that grow

In importance, for the morals
Within are a blessing for the intelligent,
Who want to reduce their workload, calls
Out that learning from experience isn’t a falls.

Accolade for my poem,  Double Rainbow

Thank you for the accolade and your hard work.

Double Rainbow

Rainbows around the world have hope
Tethered to their appearance after storms
That hit unexpectedly, yet their shine comes
With brilliance as they obliterate upheavals, you cope

With daily routines that dull your cheer,
Yet, when a double rainbow appears,
Double the gifts simultaneously, become freer
As worries dissipate like vapor without fears

They might return for beauty casts
A shadow of splendor coated in a Golden
Sheen, a treasure of unparalleled pasts
That throw away their appreciation of being beholden

To beauty that revives our belief that
Life should be appreciated every moment
For it’s gone the next, or anxious despair  that
Coat your soul with a monstrous blight:

An evil trying to seep your wonder
Into depravity, an evil whose darkness
Places an endless abyss, never
Grace, within that devours turning you helpless.

Accolade for my poem,  Killing Hunger

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Killing Hunger

Famine has lent a scrawny
Build to people’s agony
Of being constantly hungry
They search, vainly, for sustenance that cry:

Killing hunger is a crime

Of conscience for food is plentiful
If shared, not horded in a full
Contingent of warehouses where gruel
Is hidden from the poor, while for the fanciful

Killing hunger is a rhyme

For each individual to recall
For each crumb means a loss of a ball-
Room of people daily who have none but fall
Groveling for a pittance to call

Killing hunger is a crime

Of outstanding proportion
For man’s compassion
Has died with the materialization
Of the individual needs before population

Killing hunger is a rhyme

That never ends, a cycle of obsession
Survival of the Ego before orchestration
Of growth for all that leads to destruction
Of cries and perspiration

Killing hunger is a crime
With no reason or rhyme.

Accolade for my poem,  Journey in The Womb

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Journey in the Womb

As my umbilical cord feeds
My body, my mind listens to sounds,
Healing my anxiety for love, hunger,
Yet, as my hunger is assuaged, proper

My mind swims into a sea
Of possibilities about a future, per se
That I’ve only heard whispers
Of through parents, family, conversers

Around me speaking a language
I can’t decipher, but I dream of a page
Filled with goals, careers, that crave
Attention, hard work, and pave

The road to mama’s adulation,
For her bias is such that any competition
With myself is rewarded by smiles,
Cuddles, Hugs conquering piles

Of doubt that she murders
With simple pride that radiates
Through my success and comforts
In failures that bend self-worth in ports

Of darkness alleviated only
By recalling her strength properly
Reflected in the potions of TLC
She hands out, seeming effortless to see.

I vascillate in wanting to be
Just like her, or a teacher, like
Her, a fashionista, like her,
A passionate supporter, like her,

A believer, like her, but mostly,
I want her to be proud of the crazy
Child she raised who embraces
Life’s turbulent obstacles with prices

Paid in smiles for Karma will
Return my gift into a thousand pill
Against depression for my strength
Comes from her breath.

Accolade for my poem, Addiction

Thank you,  administrators,  for the accolade and your hard work.

Addiction

I’m  an addict
And I know it!

I revere two of the three Cs:
Coffee,  candy,  and cigarettes.

I love my coffee alone with my contemplation
Of life, likes, posts, news, like a great commotion,

Flitting from one to the next trying to see
What’s best before I rest to be free.

Posts galore and replies of mine
Make my day, as the taste of Coffee

Feels like a sinful pleasure.
With my dark drink, I bite into chocolate,

And drift into a coma at heaven’s gate.
I savor the sweetness along the strength

Of body of the coffee and its bitterness.

Life with the morning rituals
Cake, candy, chocolate, coffee and sweets

Is like life without a hero like Ferrero,
Or Cadbury, Mars, KitKat,  and Aero!

Raising the bar in a day filled
With noise, poised to litter the mind

With fear, worry, and being drear!
So my habitual start is set in stone:

Coffee, contemplation, quiet that have
A lead to social media, news, where I refuse

To succumb to its dadarkness
That needs to twist your morning addictions

Into a depressive, foggy darkness.
Let your coffee’s wisdom fill
Your empty cup with hope that will

Reject solidifying into despair,
But reaches in your depths to repair.

Accolade for my poem, Feather’s Journey

Thank you, administrators,  for the accolade and your hard work.

Feather’s Journey

Spring sprang in spite of the spell
Of frozen winter thawed with a bell
Of flowing flowers whose colors
Display their beauty while nature’s gay borders

Spin into a jeté budding into flowers,
Multitude of shapes, sizes, colors,
Overflowing between leaves leave
The shade above, around flowers to weave

A tapestry of beauty that’ll cleave
Your heart if Marred to be taken apart. Heave
A sigh of relief when gazing on nature’s
Industrious workers, as bird feathers

Highting each spring color to guide
Your attention to protection against the waved
Encroachment of population on rich soil
That’ll never be a foil

For contemplation of the feather
Garnering it power of flight tower
Over the leaves adorning them in beauty
And freedom to see the world fully

Aware that the feather has traveled
On the wind, free, soft, colored
Varied species, nubile in its aerodynamic
Ability to reach the unreachable, as it’s bucolic.

Accolade for my poem,  Swimmer’s Regret

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Swimmer’s Regret

Art has many forms that astound,
Paintings in oils, acrylic,  water colors,
Poetry, imagery, similes, metaphors,
Sculptures of: wood, metal, ice, garbaged

Items repurposed into beauty that dumbfound
The beholder, listener, audience,
Whose aim is to be moved by peace
That’s striking In its presence to abound

In frames Of a sea cradling a swimmer,
Embracing his every stroke with power
To be driven to complete the competition as per
The rules, self-imposed, to strive for better

Health, wealth, status, and self-acceptance
That doing your best to achieve
Your goal is a noble undertaking to live
Without Regret of passed opportunities and brace

For the turbulence of life, mirrored
By nature’s squals, tornadoes, quakes
That compel fear to rise, never breaks
The mold except for those whose faith is grounded.

So the swimmer cuddles through
The cresting waves, never deterred
By the onslaught,  pushes toward
His goal letting life sink into pores that flew

Into the stratosphere, accepting
The warmth of the ocean as it entwines
Life’s struggles with joy that rhymes, like vines,
With belief’s empowering structure of believing.

Accolade for my poem,  Energy

Thank you,  administrators,  for the accolade and your hard work.

Energy

Everything gives off energy,
People give out vibes that are clingy
To their character, soul, and humbly
Vibrate at a frequency that’s seemly.
             Plants, shrubs, and trees are no different.
             Have you stood by vegetation not cement?
             Felt the energy emanating in a vent,
            Reaching out to reduce anxiety onto a splint?
As my tactile senses overtake me,
I feel energy all around me:
People, cars, trees, parks are tame
And engrossed in a game that’s not lame.
     As I touch a living plant, I feel
     Its need to enrobe me in its touch,
     Its simplicity and innocence that fill
     My fingertips with a current that’s a badge
                            Of honor, as not all have the same
                           Level of sensitivity to fall under
                           The wonderment of nature’s thrall, and name
                           Man as its destroyer without any rancor.
             The life force, energy, magnetic field
             Are all one and the same, as each
             Creature emanates a void that embraced
            Its emptiness by acknowledging its existence.

Accolade for my poem, Sky, Soil, God

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Sky, Soil, GOD

As I look above, the sky’s scintillating
Colors, whether sunrise, twighlight, sunset, or night
They inspire moods that vary, like colors devoting
Beauty to your every versatility,  like a kite
In flight, I realize, GOD, is all around
Doling out beauty for joy that’s found

In being beside you when times
Are exciting,  cheerful,  depressing,
When you look down upon ecosystems
Surrounding you with miracles, outstanding
In their simplicity: ant home, beehives,
Even larger predators, the need survives

In each one, human, animal, insect,
Knowing YOU’RE present everywhere
Above, below, and at our side. In fact,
That knowledge is what initiate
Our appreciation for all GOD’S creations,
Innately aware of your presence’s jubilations

That empower all to subjugate
Negativity with optimism, transforming, like sunrise,
Our core into being compassionately humane.

Accolade for my Haiku poem, Harmony

Thank you, administrators,  for the accolade and your hard work.

Harmony

Spring breezes, cooling heat
Springing flowers, leaves, colors
Burgeoning  in life

Strive for harmony
Mingling man, nature, tech in
Cohesive unit

One  begs fortitude
Of the other’s imagined
Wonder of splendor
