Award for my poem: World Poetry Day

WORLD POETRY DAY
Double acrostic

Wondrous words                Whirl around and
Over a reality created by wOrlds in images, that are
Readily available              foR consumption,
Leading to leveling the  fieLd of wonder
Down into a frozen              Dream filled with rhyming

Poetic world made up of a  Plethora
Of offerings of a utopian   bOunty imagined by an
Eternal imagination        nevEr grinding
To a stop, as its renewed     Tunneling to greater
Rewards as newer worlds  aRe revealed
Yearning for the                  crY of revelations.

Drive your curiosity to    conDemn the oppressing
Arm of murderers of imaginAtion who travel
Yards over supremacy overtlY conscious of the squelched word.

Triple Silver Certificate for poem: Wander at Night

Wander at Night

Exert

A night
When the moon is shining bright
Lights up the darkened road as he
Walks alone, with his cane

Illuminating his path at night
As the forests and mountains fight
To cover the dirt road combating
For supremacy, as he walks by thinking…

Certificate of appreciation

Another poem, another certificate, the honor is humbling! I love writing, but when given a prompt, I feel the need to look beyond the picture and find the unknown element behind its beauty.

Certificate of Achievement, Cigarette

Cigarette 🚬

Holding it with my fingertips,
Caressing the paper filters,
Lighting a match, inhale, exhale airs,

Air that’s stuffy, foggy, stinky.
It casts an oppressive smell,
That you try to outrun like a bell

Ringing in lunchtime,
The smell becomes a halting
Breath that stalls in your lung

Fighting for oxygen’s purity
To flush out the dreadful
Odor that sticks to hair that fell,

And clothes that have a stench
Of smoke, driving you to asphyxiation
As you endeavor to hide from the pulverization

Of aromas that bleed deposits
Into bronchials that hinder
A normal breather.

Double Gold Certificate

I’m flabbergasted by the honor of this certificate for my poem: Athena, based on a picture prompt.

Athena

Her resplendent beauty gleams
In the raven sky, her star shines
Brighter with her golden armor, protective
Of her vulnerabilities, as she needs to survive.
Its glow is there to strive
To outlast the unbeliever who stirs the hive.

Her might glistens and reverberates
Throughout her vicinity, vindictive as it propels
Instability, division, dissention, and war!
Booming war cries echo their strengths, none bar
Her entry, as she subjugates those weaker
Through fear and magic of her glittery armor.

Those whose insolence is hidden behind their
Camouflage of piety, are two, three faced, where
They keep their dissonance locked,
So their perfidy is unexpected,
And the humbleness nothing but beguiled
Discourse that pleases the open hearted.

Beware of those wearing lambskin,
But are in reality cutthroats whose noggin
Is an empty shell that requires
It to be filled by others to act out wars.

Exhilerated

How are you feeling right now?

I’ve had an amazing week with one of my poems being published in an anthology, Unsealed Your Greatness (Link: https://amzn.to/47RpSFt), another got an honorable mention, had my 30th wedding anniversary, and writing book reviews for Canadian Authors. So, I feel in my element, reading, writing, creating, and loving it!

Honorable mention

Kisses, Kisses Galore

The lightest touch
Of soft lips that blot
Out the world in a single brush
Of velvety skin mesmerizing
Thoughts into emotions
Of focused adoration
That binds.

Filaments of love
Grow in a perpetual
Movement of exponential growth,
When two become one, and
They, in turn, become
A family, where
Kisses vary.

Many loves
Abound around us
Filling our lives with motivations,
And supremacy in emotional
Balance That renders
Us better able to
Love freely.
