Award of Appreciation for my poem,

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

Bound Butterfly

Though her wrists be bound
Their elegance and movement do astound
Their delicate strength holds life
In its tiny yet powerful softness rife

With rules: social, gender, political
That bind her moves further and dell;
Arms bound In chains as a butterfly rises above,
A symbol of fragility,  metamorphosis, love,

Beauty that instigates the ability
To change, adapt into new environment, happily
Flitting through life knowing, knowing
Its beauty will soar from plain to crumbling

Mountains spreading knowledge,
Purity of heart,  its muse for an adage
That’ll live on after the butterfly ‘s death
And the bound woman, but their breath

Filled with hope flies, like a kite,
Spreading harmony, that’s always bright.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem,

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

Important Insignificance

The fox enveigled the cheese from the raven,
The child wheedles the cookies from parent,
The dog raises his puppy eyes and melts your heart.

The birds twitter and flutter coaxing attention,
The flower shyly moves its petals to receive
Its caresses from the sun’s rays: nutrition!

The man wads his wallet to empress,
While the woman wears her war paint as not to depress;
The elderly lament their youth, and try to cajole

Their kin into longer and more frequent visits.
While the individual struggles to beguile themselves
Into believing they’re valued more than they are!

Ironically,  they lack the vision to see their importance,
That drives jealousy in others in constant
Turmoil with themselves,  for those lack your presence!

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem, Time

Time

Nothing lasts forever except time,
Time that rhymes with grime,
Grime that distorts our beauty,
Beauty that’s transient,  never lasts in bevy
Bevy of buzzing bees whose sting
Sting is deadlier than any bombing,
Bombing of others to assert power,
Power that leads to atrocities of murder.
Murder or death will take us,
Us too quickly, for time flies,
Flies away As you stake,
Stake a name in this world,
World that demands your blood,
Blod, sweat, and money,
Money to live honorably, careening,
Careening swiftly in society,
Society that binds your values,
Values you live by to survive,
Survive the war of fleeting life.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem: Wintery Hope

Wintery Hope


A new chapter begins in a flurry
Of white flowy snow, soft as wool, pearly
Shine giving us fleeting hope that’ll soar
In flight forever fighting the depressor
For dominion over the fealty for life
That’ll keep our flighty hearts young with fire.

Certificate of Appreciation  for my poem:

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

Power of Myths

The Myths of yore continue to be the core
Core of tales galore, that have fantastical,
Fantastical, epic adventures and morals,
Morals that still apply in modern,
Modern society where technology,
Technology, AI are what galvanize,
Galvanize social and ethical conscience,
Conscience of a humanity that’s fallen,
Fallen into depravity, hedonism,
Hedonism of empowering the ego,
Ego that promotes no piety,
Piety for powers greater than yours.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem: My Love

My Love

If “Love opens the most impossible gates;” and
“Love is the gate to all the secrets of the universe.”
Then, love is all powerful, eternal, rebellious, never bland,
But compassionate promise In a universe

Filled with dissent, competition, a love of money,
And sin. I give thanks that my love, husband,
Is my rock, my motivator, and one key
To my writing that’s unwavering and always holds my hand.

My love is there for the difficult decisions,
Guidance and friend to our children,
Has sleepless nights when they’re in positions
Of upheaval that require strategic precision.

For me, he is my star in a dark night,
The shoulder I cry into when life’s unbearable
Losses enrobe my heart in darkness, as he helps me fight
The devouring abyss making it acceptable.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem: Feast’s Unity

Feast’s Unity

Crave the jubilation of feasting!
Every religious ceremony that binds
lonely souls into a community
even if they are racially, culturally different,
but, all enemity is set aside when celebrating the
revival of humanity’s compassionate understanding.
arrows from Cupid’s bow hits its
target and transforms aggression
into love, friendship, jubilation,
owning that positivity, propagating it, and
never letting pessimism or negativity
spring into the forefront without a care,

And only those ungenerous with their humanity
forgo gatherings that uplift the soul.

jumping into the fray, with all the
overgrown children’s merriment
Yields a time filled with astounding wonder.

New year, new Certificate of Appreciation, for my acrostic poem: SECULARISM

Thank you, administrators,  for the honor and your hard work you helped start my year on the right footing!

SECULARISM

Severing the connection between religion’s
Endavor to dictate the rules for society has
Cut believers from implementing parts of their
Undeniable ties to GOD, as within them there’s a
Lawful balance between social, self, career,
And world that defines rights of each on a
Reality that is holistic and all encompassing,
Intensifying the need to think beyond the
Self, its needs, and elevate the needs of the
Many through rules that satisfy the many.
