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: Life Captured

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

The poem, Life Captured,  is part of my poetry book,  Perfectly Flawed poetry for change.

Life Captured

Looking at life through the aperture of a lens
Narrows your vision to only what it presents,
Everything else is eliminated, erased.
What happens to that backdrop that disappeared?
Is your memory faulty, that it too evaporates it?
Or is your memory vibrant enough to retain it?
Or would you prefer to eradicate it?

There are times in life where having a limited
View of an event can alter its meaning, and
Dissipate its importance into nothing,
For its effect on you, casual at best. Reliving
Them is unremarkable, dispensable, and dreary
Creating unnecessary despair when life is for living.

Other times when a complete view is compulsory
For understanding and acting favorably.
At such times,  no minute detail is unnecessary,
For they all create a holistic picture of the unsavory
Events that play out in movie format,  brilliantly
Vivid in its details, sounds, smells, and actionably.

The scenes are relentless in their motions
As they unveil their worthiness to us
As the aperture of life is just a version
Of all that’s around us, filming, storing,
Even deleting or omitting the undeserving,
Challenging the lies or liars, stating only verity, flying!!!!

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem, Unity

Thank you administrators for the hard work you put in the prompts and judging our work. You’re highly appreciated 👏

Unity

How do we unite when we’re so different?
We might differ but beneath, we’ve got
The same biology, red blood, emotions whose lot

Is to find similarities to bridge
Stereotypes, opinions, religion, race, that judge
Without logic or understanding, rather pledge

Disunity, division, as diversity of aims
That ramify and highlight disparity that comes
More easily then finding commonality in times

When a unified community, humanity
Means peace, while division means war, ably
Turning a pretty penny as colizers’ ability

To exploit the subjugated through
Creating enmity where none could throw
Away their misplaced Stereotypes that bow

To the reign of weapons
Whose response is murder that dons
The crown of power flown in tons

Of decisive death combatted
Only by understanding of diversity united.

Double Gold Certificate:

Thank you, Marie, for the honor you’ve placed on my writing.


Masked Window

Dressed in her ivory maskerade ballgown,
Her golden mask, sitting holding a frown,
Wondering carelessly why their return
Was before the clock struck one.

On the window seat, she sits, draped
In her creamy embroidery locked
In wonder, as she gazes through the darkened
Sky lit by a brilliant moon and stars, dangled

In clusters, creating images and a haze
Of moving light surrounding the blaze
Of hope and wonder that are cause
For our betterment and flays the craze

Of depression’s loneliness that she
Left behind, as the music was too loud a bee,
She stirs from her pose of repose to see
And appreciate the beauty and comfort that be

Her succor as she contemplates
The dichotomy of a world at wars
While the other lives freely and creates
Memories, while the other loses or dies.

High Park, Toronto

On Sunday,  we went to High Park in Toronto in order to get a peak at the cherry Blossoms. It was disappointing to see that 80% of the flowers had fallen already, but the Park was full of families, bikers, teens, all out in the sun, watching nature around us. Among the beauty that captured my imagination was this beautiful bird: Red winged black bird, Agelaius, difficult to pronounce for sure, but an Astoundingly beautiful bird with red and yellow wings contrasting starkly with the ebony black of the bird’s body. The only way for me to have been able to capture it in flight was to take a video and screenshot the pictures I wanted,  then zoom.

I had such a great time, walked/ hiked the trail with my cousin, then had lunch. The weather was a beautiful spring day with very little wind and hot sun, no jacket needed. Highly recommend a visit. Below is a picture from a Google search, clearly showing the different colors in the wing.

What was left of the the cherry Blossoms, swan and nest, tulip bed.

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.

Certificate of Excellence, Wishes

Wishes

As the countdown to 2023 starts,
My mind takes a long look behind
And wonders what wishes, surprises
Are in store for 2024 that won’t stand
Down to the tests of time.

I wish for a world of peace
I wish for a world without violence,
I wish for justice to prevail,
I wish for family strength and unity,
I wish for a world that’s compassionate and humane,
I wish for honesty to triumph over lies,
I wish that this society’s rules made sense,
I wish, I wish, I wish…

Wishing for something and achieving
Your goal are separate indeed, as
Working hard drives you to attaining
Your objective, while just wishing for it to lands
In your lap will never happen!

Intentions, published

Intentions

Upon reflection on a year gone by,
I notice that life is short and needs to fly.

As time dissipates in the fog of winter
Storms that flog your optimism into a pauper,

I lie back and wonder …
How do I make the following year better?

My goals are set for my self-improvement,
Where I wish to feel no bereavement.

Goals are so arbitrary, that, at times
They pull you down into hades.

As I set my goals: reducing my intrusive
Conversation and being more conservative

In my opinions, but only with certain
Peoples, who lack perception.

Another goal is to write more,
Submit more, and succeed more.

I believe the latter more feasible,
As the first requires me to be more biddable.

I hope to achieve a certain censorship
As not to come to hardship.
