Certificate of Appreciation for my poem,  Hidden Garden

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Hidden Garden

‘In the garden where secrets grow,
Colors dance in a vibrant show’
As secrets grow in each blossom
Where rainbowed hues bloom

In varieties that astound the eye
Hidden from the sight of those who fly
By seeing only tangible beauty, while
This garden can only be perceived with the guile

Of childhood’s ingenuity that discerns
Patterns unseen by those whose senses
Have dulled with time. So, the child finds
The key that opens a doorway to gardens

Of Eden where the flytrap behaves
Like a pet, while the Cobra Lily heaves
Bubbles filled with rainbows that strive
To seep into the world with endless hope to give

The Death Camasa flair of colored scents
Dazzle the olfactory glands in a bid to circumventing
Its natural toxicity, for the child only sees beauty
While adults fear the unknown blindly.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem, Ladder’s Initiative

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Ladder’s Initiative

Real success comes in knowing,
Knowing that failure is part of the ladder,
Ladder that leads to achieving,
Achieving goals as you adjust,
Adjust strategy, methods, motivation,
Motivation to perpetrate your inner vision,
Vision of implementing ethics, values,
Values that support your strength,
Strength to overcome obstacles that depress,
Depress but never give up the fight,
Fight for your aims, whether spiritual,
Spiritual, social, or career.  Fight,
Fight for success that needs to be roused,
Roused with imagination, motivation,
Motivation that requires initiative,
Initiative and belief in self-worth.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem, Winter Scape

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Winter Scape

The bare trees are adorned in white
Snow begging for the frost to go,
Take a deep breath and vapor will flow,
The deadly cold has frozen the lake in a fight

Against Niagara Falls’ powerful
Current vainly trying to escape
The icy sheets’ scrape, scratch in a leap
To continue on as a sheet, but, the full

Power of three lakes joining
Is never ending breaking of formed
Ice that disintegrated like glass, popped
Into the current, flop into floating

Unseen for the force the fall
Has broken it asunder, but it has only
Changed form into flowy watery
Water That crashes on rocks like a ball

Bouncing from its fall. The rainbow
Eclipses all the crystalline formations
With its arc of colors shining, agglomerations
Of beauty and hope brightening winter’s flow.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem: Woman Defined

Woman Defined

Courage thy name is Woman!
You’ve shown us your resilience
In the face of adversity that can
Drive strong men to their knees in case
Their worries overwhelm their ferocity,
Which is tempered by Her steadfastness
And confidence in Her ability
To nurture, when needed, cutting honesty
That’s never ending in its compassion.

Her armor, mask is that of love.
Her empathy lifts Her up.
Her education is Her weapon, a dove,
White, for its peaceful cup.
She’s endured degradation, oppression,
Slavery and desperation beyond
Caution, She moves into dominion
With Her tolerance that’s Her bond.

Bond of her heart that instigates
The need for freedoms.

Certificate of Appreciation 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 Appreciation for my poem,  DIVULGE

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Acrostic
DIVULGE
Divest, direct, divulge secrets of war
Instrumental for dominance with a
Variety of armed tech that kills, remotely,
Unforgiveable, unfettered violence against
Less armed people, who just want to
Greet the next morn with knowledge of
Expecting a future that’s unhindered.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem, Warriors in Sheep Skin

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Warriors in Sheep Skin

Warriors dressed in sheeps’ clothing
Fight, as warriors are wont to fight,
Let your voices rise, Soar like a kite,
Cross oceans of fright, conquering

Hearts with words of peace,
Empathy, compassion for humanity
That has fallen astray, accepting fraticide
As a way of life, unquestioningly

Some follow like the sheep they are,
While others use every medium,
From comedy, literature, criticism,
Painting, sculpting, all in their way fare

And pair their visions of peace
Fighting, unnoticed by many,
But those affected by their kindly
Actions have only gratitude that’ll fleece

Despair into an abyss where peace
Reigns in warrior stance in pride
That freedom fighters are framed in place
By the courts of the people who don’t hide.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem,  Rutilant’s Beauty

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Rutilant’s Beauty

The rutilant light shimmered
A vision of beauty caressing
The flow of life that’s endangered
By chaos, war, and debauchery swinging
Their hammer of perception
As the one and only
Equation for life’s classification
Of rank, race, religion all blindly
Followed without question,
Critiquing is just an objection
To a reality that needs annihilation,
A rebuilding of ethics, an abbreviation
For strength of character that’s
Created trends, not followers of What’s
Unimportant: superficial beauties,
Revamped through surgeries
All looking like barbies
None too human, as they’re
Plastic, artificial,  unreal fear
Of loosing beauty’s power.
