Certificate of Achievement for my poem, Seeds of Hope

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Seeds of Hope

Rest, relax, rebuild,  relive, revive,
Never rewind to the time when fighting was live,
Bombarding my surroundings with burning
Flames, explosions,  bullets whizzing,
Safety is nonexistent,  danger surrounds you,
Fear of a stray feud or knife are behind you
Or beside, or ahead of you; never inside you.
Your heart stays pure, needing to help
Never stop giving and receiving hope,
Or the fighting ends,
You lay down your arms,
Surrender to hopeleness and despair,
That’s when fear reigns and overwhelms.
Give your loyalty, love, hope, and optimisms
Freedom to grasp your faith and expose
It to the sun, let it soak its warmth in a pose
Of reverence to God’s powers of prose
In which your strength bursts, warming
You from the inside, till its beauty sings
A rainbow of colors illuminating your skin
With its brilliance.  Bask in its wonder,
Revere its words and sleep calmly, a dreamer.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem, 

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Reflection in the Mirror

Her hazel eyes look into the mirror,
What she sees is a wonder.
In the reflection, ‘La Vie en Rose’
Covered with a pinkish screen as she pose.

She lifts her hand, extends her index,
Grazes across the glittery surface, that’s a fox,
Wily and intent on showing her only
Beauty, utopia, family, and community,

Trying haughtily to impose a vision
Of fidelity, that’s as wrotten a passion
As Eve’s apple; who thought it would
Impower her with Knowledge, Immortality

When, in reality, it highlighted her
Faults and sexuality through a picture
Of nudity and immorality.
Her curiosity, pride were her downfall from all heavenly.

The gorgeous woman’s gaze turned
Inward, subconscious awareness aged
With centuries of data, she becomes
Cognizant of the struggles of generations

That tried not to give her her power.
The power of a woman that’ll never
Let pride, shame, sex be the means used
For her destruction that stays unpardoned.

She’s swiftly swung into a new
Path, where women are revered, as few
Are, for their strengths, nurturer,
Culture, and self-awareness that is a propeller

Into an age of her distinction, acceptance,
Integration, and sociopolitical presence.
A long journey whence she grew
Out of a subjugation in a pew.

Diploma for my poem, Gentle Core

Thank you for the honor and your hard work. Here’s to applying the wish into reality: living without war.

Gentle Core

Look, look upon the Azure blue sea
It shines brilliantly of hope for all to see,
No storms, battles, violent death mar
Its crystalline shores with dismantled bodies, far
From blemish free for purity, innocence

That need to flourish in childish
Wonder, grow their curiosity without polish
So their imagination is catapulted
Into the stratosphere of flight, never endangered
For war is a foreign concept without gore

They thrive on challenges galore
That make a humongous score
Into inventions, creations that never bore,
Using them To improve life’s spore
That’s harvested with gentle kindness of the core.

Certificate of Appreciation for my acrostic poem,  SOMNAMBULISM

SOMNAMBULISM


Sleepwalking, slumbering, seeming awake,
One task down, confusion how it was done,
Maintaining eyes open, yet, still knocking
Nerves on table corners without waking,
Ambling to the door shopping for groceries,
Marveling at how you got there? Walking,
Bustling around completing your
Unconscious mind’s needs without
Leaving anything behind is astounding,
Impressive survival skills while
Sleepwalking is a
Mandatory need for those with parasomnia.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem,  Child Within

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Child Within

The world is in despair,
What a great pair
My dog and I fair
As we jump, hop with flair.

Yes, chaos reigns,
But the soul of the child remains
My best defense as it stains
The world In pains.

So I posture my inner Child
Whose laughter is a great ride,
Whose love has no pride,
Whose enjoyment is never a grind.

Live like that child in simplicity,
Don’t overthink the atrocity,
Don’t stress the depravity,
Do live in harmony.

Certificate of Achievement for my acrostic poem,  MELANCHOLY

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Acrostic
MELANCHOLY

Marvelous melancholy meandeers
Eternally in darkness, entering eagerly
Leading a life leery of lies letting your
Armor augment your auspicious audacity
Needing the support of friends, family,
Creating a buffer to melancholy’s
Hold on emotions that lend a hand to
Overcoming despair’s grip from
Loss’s leveling your blubbery heart,
Yielding to an overflow of emotions, needing a cap.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem, Women’s Wars

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Women’s Wars

Wars have always been about expansion,
Glorifying the ‘self’, stealing resources,
Empowering through the subjugation
Of the ‘other’ by binary opposition that courses
Through blood, and ‘elevates’ their superiority to deity.

From the Silk Road, to the Spice Road,
To the Swez Canal, White Sea, Ben Gurion,
All show the need for exclusivity for the broad
Perception of ‘Civilizing’. What a crock gone
Down the clock into eternal sleep. Happy.

For each critical endeavor, conquest,
Women rally the people, organize,
Fight, rebel, strive to keep morale, at best,
Alive within the hearts of people to strategize
Survival and the compulsion to resist oppression.

As the flowers bloom, so does the woman’s
Need to resist being lumped in a category
That she knows she doesn’t belongs
To, but rather asserts her judicial equality
In a society that’s still a patriarchy.

Her freedom, imposed by GOD,
Is taken away by men  of power
Who fear her rejuvenating strength that plod
Without thought to health or happiness,  yet a teacher
Of infinite power that blends, supports, those weaker.
