Voices Unbound Certificate for my poem, Rose’s Deity

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Roses’ Deity

Oh Aphrodite,  your white roses
Bloom to honor your deity, a groom
Of reverence to unwavering gloom
That pricked himself and turned them reds.

Yet those peaceful doves bestow
Calm innocence facing despair
With only thorns as weapons to repair
The damage done to the chaos that’ll blow

Up in the faces of those who’ve
Forgotten the hymns of gratitude
That revel in atonement embued
In simple living, where new beginnings have

Been lauded for their vision
Of graceful kindness, given, returned,
Through the fragile fairness, whose scent attracted
Its audience into presiding over confusion

With leadership in radiance,
Transparent in its intentions,
Gracious in its need for interventions
That create connections, reverence

For simple human kindness.

Certificate for my poem,  Crane Cloud

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Crane Cloud

For a child, imagination is a castle
Filled with invisible friends in a battle
To be the superhero that defends
Against injustice and bends

The rules of logic, reality
In order to achieve his empty
Vision with regulations that fit
Into a cloud looking like, a big bit

Of a crane, all white fluffy
Clouds, but hunts like an eagle whose cry
Pierces the sky with a predatory
Call, scaring prey and flushing adversary

Out in the open so go for the kill
That’s a firing squad of a pill
Calling out for justice in a child’s
Mild imaginings, prospering in a field’s

Grassy stretch lingering on harvest,
Its beauty, hard work, and failing the test
Of nature that can wipe it away
In a stray moment that’s a giveaway.

Still the child looks upon the crane,
Wishing he were riding on its back, a bane
To all oppressors, abusers who dare
Hurt anyone as he bares witness with care.

Certificate, Hallmark of Brilliance for my poem, Woman in Red

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Woman in Red

She gazes through the window pane
Daydreaming of times jeweled, in her mind
She wonders how she’s changed to find
Someone she can’t recognize in a lane

Of others who’ve become plastic
Replicas of a trend that reveres
The artificial instead of the natural seers
Who stand alone, against the flow, barbaric

In being bullied, effective in their honor
To prevail against the adamant need
To be perceived for who they are, indeed
They triumph in the end, like you and me, never poor

As we stand for values and ethics,
Beliefs that teach discipline, empower
Your self-confidence to soar
Into success without despair rooted in heretics.

Certificate for my poem,  Remember When

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Remember When

I remember a time
When innocence reigned supreme,
When love was given freedom,
When tears never reached the ocean’s calm.

I remember a time
When family gathered together,
When friendship was a teacher,
When colleagues empowered each other.

I remember a time
When explosions reigned,
When walking across the street hide
Dangers were unparalleled, exposed.

Diploma for my poem, Dangling Moon

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Dangling Moon

Sitting on the tip of the crescent moon
Dangling my legs, pushing off, swinging
As though the moon embraced me in a cocoon
Of life’s laughter, lighter than lightning,

Brighter than the stars’ brilliance,
A comforter of the soul closer
To heaven’s doors, seating, no coincidence
That the moon hovers, never a loser,

But changes everyday in looks
From crescent to full moon,
Each highlights its own beautiful hooks
That enliven hope like a boon,

A boon from GOD to humanity,
A circle of dazzling blessings
Enrobing my imagination’s memory, flowy
Possibilities into dreams, not guessings,

No certainty that the light of poetry shines
To guide my plight into a roadmap
Of strength built on patience, never fines
Me more than I can conquer in a lap.

As I swing on memories that mirror
My plight of losses that that flow
Like the changes in the moon, a bower
For rest as I swing on the crescent’s glow.

Certificate for my poem,

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

MOTHER’S DAY

Mom, mother, Mami, marvelous mediator
Overly compassionate, loving, and
True to her calling: nurturer, teacher,
Healer, holds your comfort in her palm
Envy all who have a mother like her
Resonating in empowering her child
‘Supplicating GOD for guidance

Daily to be a better mom, hoping not to
Ascend into heaven before ascertaining
Your happiness at the expense Of her health.

Certificate for my acrostic poem,  INFIDELITY

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

#Acrostic double
INFIDELITY    

Infidelity, indiscretion,                                           betraYal
Never come without consequences                          buT
Friends, family, spouses have been doing so since CaIne
Irresponsibly murdered Abel for power’s                  pulL
Deriving a sense of satisfaction in                        decEption
Endeavoring to hide, unknowing that truth won’t abiDe
Letting go of deception without paying a toll            In
Infinite regret, guilt that bog you with the weight    oF
Testing your faith in those you believe                  woN’t
Yield to anything but truth and                                  faIthfulness.

Verses of Soul present my poem: Lonely Bench,  with this certificate

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

Lonely Bench

As the empty, lonely bench
Stands alone in the park’s empty lane
That was filled with pattering feet, clench
Their hands together, riding, running, fain

The need to socialize, expanding
Energy, that seems boundless,
Enjoying the freedom of summer, fleeting,
As those moments become heartless

Dissipating into the waiting emptiness
Of autumn’s fiery colors blessedly
Oblivious that summer’s cheer
Has receded into the sky’s grey, charcoaly

Horizon, never to return the same
But better, if one appreciates their
Significance: nature’s hibernation came
With a time in spring, rejuvenation’s care

That dares to bloom again,
From a seeming emptiness that’ll
Gain depth, strength,  beauty that’ll train
The eye into its wondrous refrain.
