6th place for my poem, The Sea

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

The Sea

Colors,  oh Colors of the sea
Dazzle my eyes to see

Your beauty’s blue hues
That impress our views

Of many blues: turquoise blues,
Greenish blue, yellowish browns, in special purviews

Where waves clamor to touch shore
In a uproar of rebellion against the sand floor

That speaks to capture its treasures
By displaying them to humanity’s burrs

As their speech, music, song, laughter
Only receed as the sun explodes in color

In a splendor of yellows, and reds
That blend into sparrows of reeds

Changing in harmony with the depth of
Fear that time ends with this falling night that’s enough.

I sit on wonderment on the seashore
In contemplation to be sure

That life’s bliss rises and falls,
Happiness comes in waves and balls,

While nature of the sea stays true,
Unchanging except for the seasons blue,

So enjoy the joy of the quiet balm breeze with
Compensation for a troden soul lifted to breathe.

Diploma for my poem,  Cradled Moon

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Cradled Moon

Dressed in white, hair, a golden flax,
She lays on the fluffy white cloud
Bent in a fetal position, arms hold
The fluorescent moon under chin, lax,

In rest, she poses a vision of calm
As the moon shines brilliantly
In a frame to keep the fearfully
Looped worries away from her palm,

And creates a luxurious beam
Enrobing her in warmth Of light
As she slumbers in the clouds’ soft, bright
Lumanescence whose role is to brim

With courage and fight against
The terrors within, A heroine never
Given any fame, but like the moon, it’s a killer
Of monsters that create panic, at a cost

Too high to endure, if it were not
For the peaceful moon laying in arms
Breaching the towers of fright, it calms
The dread, horrors that she faught.

4th and 6th place for my poems, and Quietude


Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

6th place:

Quietude

There are times when silence,
Silence is a symphony of brilliance
As you listen to your inner voice,
Voice as it expresses its wisdom in a force,
Force, that’s unrestrained in its presence,
Presence of dynamic coalescence.

Let your voice reach those,
Those whose listening ears,
Ears are prepared for change,
Change that empowers your hidden,
Hidden voice, meditation, whose opinion,
Opinion is louder than an explosion.

Explosion of colored hope,
Hope that tomorrow’s bloom,
Bloom will loom after summer,
Summer’s rainbow of flaura pepper,
Pepper the sidewalk, parks, fields,
Fields of harvests that can only feeds.

Accolade and Review for my poem, FEAR, BREATHE,  THINK, ACT

FEAR, BREATHE, THINK, ACT

FEAR
Fear: fast heart beats feasting feverishly
Every time fear ramps serotonin quickly,
Amply avid in avoiding pain, fastidious in
Remaining alive to tell the tale of FEAR.
FEAR

BREATHE  …
Barely breathing, the brain astoundingly
Reveals its respiratory ease, by reviewing
Every fear, entering the data, waiting
Another moment for analysis, wading,
Through the morass of a lack of logic,
Hearing only haloed heartbeats, heaving.
Eternally aware of time flowing: BREATHE.
BREATHE ..

THINK …
Through and push through thinking
Halves my reasoning, homing only on survival
Instead of clarity of thought,
Never receiving the memo of
Knowing that ‘fight or flight’ is all in a knot. THINK.
THINK …

ACT …
Actively, arduously permitting action that
Covers slippery seconds of being frozen, while
Time reveals your success, failure, and your missing fervor.
ACT …

Diploma for my poem,  Book’s Visionary

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Book’s Visionary

Creating a world with paper and pen,
I watch my vision evolve to stun in a den
Of books, windows to the unknown,

They litter the shelves, organized
In alphabetical order for all it’s simplified,
But those unique books, mine, and those grown

In power as time passed, and some
Tried to surpass their Ideology that come
With experience, social living, wearing a crown

Of knowledge,  practicality, friendship
That coalesce Into strong leadership
As your intellect expanded with the blown

Exposé of things that seem foreign
As your experience is limited to the line
Of things taught to you not learned with a frown

As you explore its meaningful message
While you look at other references, not a cage,
To amplify your understanding its daily application

Not just learning but doing, changing.
That’s the purpose of books of all genres, rebelling.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem,  Silence’s Curator

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Silence’s Curator

The green sprouts standing like sentinels
Protecting the beauty of nature’s quiet
Harmony that pulls its nutrient
Silently from the earth to nourish the bells

Of flowers dangling haphazardly
On long stems, sending their scent
Into the air attracting bees,  birds, that lent
Their efforts to pollinate nature’s beautifully

Synced ecosystem in a paltry effort
To beautify more fully a world
Needing its slow pace to reflect, to write a word
On the journey of life’s ups, downs, twist

That have you spinning in place
Like a top without a head ruling
Its grace with patience of flowing
Oceans whose quiet but all elegance.

Diploma for my poem, Therapeutic

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Therapeutic

The seascape, verdant in color,
Coalesces green and blue hues in favor
Of reds, purples, and yellows of sunsets, brighter.

The water flows in cadence with my heart,
A beat that travels within the water’s part.
I fling myself within it, swimming at my leisure; start.

Enjoying the feel of the silky water
As it envelopes my body with heat, that’s better
Than being alone as I sweep away tears: left for later.

They would stain my paper and ink,
Telling me it was time for a break
From life’s realities that weigh me to the brink.

At the sea, the smells, painted sky,
The sounds of crashing waves hitting the shore by
The second are therapy for a broken soul to fly.

Diploma Certificate for my poem,  Giggle’s Memory

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

Giggle’s Memory

A smile, a laugh, a memory, a thought,
All coalesce into memorable visions,
Sounds that light up your darkest thought.

My baby’s laughter as a child, adult now,
Continues to not only brighten my days
But also is an effective antidepressant taking a bow.

As the memory of her tinkling laugh
Spreads an inner peace in my breast,
I fall back into envisioning the day she was born. Enough

Time has passed, but her musical
Laugh has evolved from giggle
To full blown belly laughs that bubble

But never pop as her optimism
Isn’t a prop, rather its centered in faith,
Bound by our love that enveloped her in grim

Strength to suppress all that can
Depress. She rises above difficulties
With a smile that shines like the moon
On foggy, oppressive raven black, nights

That simply disperse as her laugh lights
The sky with power of brightness
That never dims in all the time it casts.

Award of Excellence for my poem,

Thank you, administrators,  for the honor and your hard work

Man’s Rejuvenation

The garden begins beautifying bloom
As the birds start tweeting harmony’s tune
Waking all nature from its dormant time
Into a rainbow of brightness In June
That destroyed depression as nature’s
Beauty envelopes symphony’s prayers
Lifting soul from morass of stagnation.

Its simple beauty reigns supreme over
All that man turns complex When it’s simple
Pleasures around are enjoyed better
When all is shared with loved ones, whose ample
Support surrounds us in a balm of peace
As contemplation of beauty helps fleece
Negative into positivity.
