Certificate of Distinction for my poem, Smile

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Smile

A smile of kindness is all it takes to lift a soul
Up from feeling lonely, so smile
At the clerk, complement them
And listen to their reaction, a gem,

As their smile lights their eyes
And opens up a conversation of trivialities
That boost the soul, motivating
Them to simply enjoy the day while the sun’s shining.

It’s those simple acts of kindness
That distinguish our uniqueness
And humanity from those who’ve
Lost their compassion and empathy for love

Of their fellow ‘man’ in humanity.

Certificate of Distinction for my poem, Soar with Courage

Honored to be the first in this contest.  Thank you for the topics and your hard work.

Soar with Courage’s

Courage thy name is life,
Life filled with life altering decisions
Decisions needing mettle, fortitude,
Fortitude to dare what seems impossible,
Impossible for those cowards,
Cowards who prefer their comfort zone,
Zone where habits, schedules limit,
Limit your growth to stagnation leading,
Leading to a prison of your making,
Making your spirit dim till extinguished.

Certificate of Distinction for my poem, Evil’s Moon

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

Evil’s Moon

On the night of the wolf moon
The wolves howl to one another,
Communicating their feelings in a leer,
A gross grin that hounds the soul, a goon,

Fierce, a horrific distortion of beauty
As the full moon, its crevices, darken
The night into a fearsome howl that’ll blacken
The depraved souls into coal, crusty

In consistency, flammable, evil,
Evil reigns with its oppressive
Weight, that governs stagnant, progressive
Deterioration into lunacy that coil

Around the heart, squeezes,
Till the suffocating of goodness prevails
Seeking to seize all faith, beliefs,
Throwing them to the wolves, scavenges

In the unholy darkness
To spread depravity, not faith.

Certificate of Distinction for poems about Valentine

Thank you, administrators, for the honor and your hard work.  The prompts were about cultural symbols of love given daily for 1 week. Below is 1 of those:

I PROMISE
Acrostic

I’m hardwired to nurture,

Promising to love you in sickness, health, and
Respect who you are without changing
Out your ethics, character, that
Melts my heart as your soft compassion
Internalized in our love, never to
Separate, except when it overflows to
Empower our kids in their lives.

Certificate of Distinction for my poem: Staying Power

Staying Power

What’s poetry if not an agglomeration
Of words in rhyme and rhythm?
A world of poetic devices, accommodation
Of varied styles, structures that’s not grim?

What’s a love story
If not one that has a start,
Climax, and end that’s happy or gory?
Where pink tinted glasses reflect

The author and audience’s
Need to escape life’s duties, stresses
That place tremendous pressures
On couples needing one anothers happiness

Without needing to compromise
Or putting in the hard work required.
‘What’s love?’, in that case?
That’s the staying power of being loved,

Loved for yourself,
Loved for your strengths, weaknesses,
Loved for your imperfections put on a shelf,
As your greatest power shines in smiles

That never dim while facing despair.
