The theme, African Slavery, is close to my heart as I was born in Ghana. The people are friendly and wonderful to be with. My memories of growing up there is that of hot weather, beautiful plant life, forests, wide spaces, language, and culture.

Itty bitty feet run around In a clamor of clip-clops That resonate in echoes that abound In a round of clapping shrieking pops
That reverberate with laughter That lightens the heart of burdens And a heaviness that cower When faced with the merry melody of laughter.
Let your Itty bitty feet lead, Lead you into mischief and solve Your way out of problems that feed Your will to be cheery when faced by laws above
Of society that set limitations, in Isolation, For some, while others run amuck. Let your glee flee the deadened quiet of conventions By proving your worth with mirth that gets you unstuck.

My poem received the above certificate of achievement.
May’s Spring
My eyes are always turned to the sky, Where beauty and simplicity vie For supremacy in an empty spacy.
Birds of all kinds fly by, flocking, migrating, Setting new habits for their chicks’ living Quarters that are overflowing with forests, changing With each new flock that’s arriving. Live honoring nature’s power, Its giving nature that is a bower Of safety when you need a lover Without motives, who is only a supporter.
Embrace your brethren in humanity, Their races receding into the vicinity Of acceptance, that all Man is emotionally And physically the same, all have red blood.
Feelings, passions, and red flowing blood Saunter into each’s body in a flood Of confusion that needs sorting and bud, Swamping everyone with a unique personage.
