PARAPET

P restigious rampart, tall, stony
A ll encompassing strength to ward of
R aging aggression against attackers whose
A varice for aquiring infinite power, killing
P eople over the parapet, a symbol of their
E ternal strength as they conquer
T heir own fears through mayhem’s murder.

Gold Certificate,  Musical Soul

Musical Soul

Her head is always up in space
Where music flows like a water bow,
It comes and goes in a crescendo
That takes a dip into a diminuendo
In a homophony of sounds whose grace

Imbues the soul with a legato
Using a metronome to keep time
For all octaves of musicality as if a crime
Takes place if you don’t ascend with the rhythm
Of vibrato that reaches within the soul in tempo

With moods that are impossible
To tone down into a flaming
Simmer, unchanging while honoring
A person’s vivace through notes, singing
Through the soul to change the impossible.

Certificate of Achievement,  FORGIVENESS, acrostic

FORGIVENESS

Forge your will in steal,
Outmaneuver your enemies, who feel,
Replete in knowing they’re the heel.
Give them your support when they fall,
Inspire them to be better than before.
View their progress and motivate before you bore,
Inverting foe to friend, like before.
Never lose hope for betterment
Even when all is stacked against you,
Simmer the anger, put logic to the forefront
Survive, learn, educate, that hope is never gone.

Sly, sun bathing!

Our Sly bear is taking the summer seriously. He knows when it’s time to play and when to just rest in the water to cool off. He’s so sly, that he only walks in the shade of the garden, and only comes back for a treat or a splash!

Oh, what fun and worryless is the life of a dog! If his owners are good to him/her, he’s golden as he lives the life of a pampered child.

Certificate of Excellence,  poem: Deemflum Falls

Deemflum Falls

In the icy winter frost, the visit
To Niagara Falls is a balm on a troubled
Soul whose daily anxieties transform into mist
That continually rise above the falls, unmoved
By the chaotic madness of a world
Filled with death, murder, violence,
And destruction that require you to hold
Onto your sanity by turning to the deemflum face

Of letting your worries evaporate,
Like the misty fog, into skies so blue,
They pierce into a heart rarely in sync with fate
As the cacophony of splashing sheets of true

Blue raise your spirit into a haven
Of quietude balanced by the icy
Crunch of frozen shelves shedding cotton
Balls through the air like rainy

Pellets that strike a balance
Between the reality and what’s imaginary.

Part of a great group of poets

Having found my poetic niche, I’ve found that even online friends feel closer to me than others. We’ve connected on a poetic, inspirational plane, where anything is made possible through our writing: peace, war, aggression, agreement, love, love’s demise, and so much more. I’m always astounded by the turn of the phrases, visuals, musicality, and fun available in each poet’s writing and vision of reality that affects them.

Certificate of Achievement,  acrostic poem: Soliloquy

SOLILOQUY

 
Soliloquy is the art of internal dialog
Omitting nothing of your thoughts,
Leaving your subconscious bare
In voicing your greatest wishes, fears,
Ingrained and developed, are all
Omnipotent over your actions, reactions,
Quitting is never the solutions,
Unraveling under pressure is useless,
Yet, falling is what we do best! Then, get up again.
