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.

Award of Appreciation for my poem, Harvest Kindness

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Harvest Kindness

Like the roots through which life
Flows, fluctuates, and grows, flowers,
Bushes, forests blossom with ease, protectors
Of nature require no rewards in strife,

Drought, flood, or perfect weather,
Kindness given without expectations
Grows it’s own roots, foundations
For the hereafter that require prayer,

Respect given without limits,
Belief in the intangible, angels,
Nature’s wonderment, peace fills
Our hearts as we give and pits

Our disappointments against
Harvesting morality’s seeds
Granting Our harmony that pleads
For compassion’s empathy, a breast

Shoulder you can rely on in the worst
Times, for you’ve given freely
And your reward comes in heavenly
Support from all you’ve helped, the best

Conveyors of unrest, for they
Request only your grain of kindness
In a yield of pure emotion, bless
The quay where you can rest every day.

Accolade for my poem,  Journey in The Womb

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Journey in the Womb

As my umbilical cord feeds
My body, my mind listens to sounds,
Healing my anxiety for love, hunger,
Yet, as my hunger is assuaged, proper

My mind swims into a sea
Of possibilities about a future, per se
That I’ve only heard whispers
Of through parents, family, conversers

Around me speaking a language
I can’t decipher, but I dream of a page
Filled with goals, careers, that crave
Attention, hard work, and pave

The road to mama’s adulation,
For her bias is such that any competition
With myself is rewarded by smiles,
Cuddles, Hugs conquering piles

Of doubt that she murders
With simple pride that radiates
Through my success and comforts
In failures that bend self-worth in ports

Of darkness alleviated only
By recalling her strength properly
Reflected in the potions of TLC
She hands out, seeming effortless to see.

I vascillate in wanting to be
Just like her, or a teacher, like
Her, a fashionista, like her,
A passionate supporter, like her,

A believer, like her, but mostly,
I want her to be proud of the crazy
Child she raised who embraces
Life’s turbulent obstacles with prices

Paid in smiles for Karma will
Return my gift into a thousand pill
Against depression for my strength
Comes from her breath.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem,

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

Youth or History

Don’t fall for the tripe of a conquering
Civilisation that wants to change you, integrating

Its morality, ethics, culture, and language
Assiduously, calmly Conquering the age

You live in by making it attractive
To all ages to turn away, as a hive,

From your history of warriors,
Chiefs, educators, and financiers

Whose beliefs are slowly eroded
To be replaced by the imposer that did

A casually psychological war
That divided families placing a bar,

Tangible in its flux of life,
As it reduces familial relationships to strife

And a love for the material
Replaced with everything that’s callous, cruel.

Their optimal goal is surrender
Of all that’s uniquely You, into a pretender

Whose history is dismantled
By its complete erasure and monument.

Diploma Certificate for my poem, Veiled Butterfly

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

Veiled Butterfly

Her veil of flowers and butterflies
Flit around her head as her eyes
Wander into the night skies.

Her beauty shines through
Her astounding eyes of blue,
Framed by lashes of a brownish hue.

Her rosy lips stutter with each
Winged flap, trying vainly to catch
The flight of the butterfly and latch

Onto its fringes and take flight
With her fantasms in direct conflict
With reality’s nightmarish bite.

Her lashes flutter as her revelry
Into a utopian wonder clashes sensibly
With a reality where her veil is horribly

Marred by Stereotypes that bind
Perceptions of beauty of the mind
To terrorist activities that make you grind

Your frustrations for a lack of understanding
And communication that’s building
Roadblocks that inhibit freedom of living.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Frozen Footprints

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

Frozen Footprints

I swing around
My gazes abound
And stall. Frozen on the ground
By the footsteps that are never found.

Each step was an adventure, gone
And never seen, but remembered as one
Whose stature is alone
In memory and stone.

Adoration of all that’s long gone is futile,
For your recall is colored by a grapevine
Of emotions that are supple
And unmanageable.

Let it go!
Move on, throw
Caution to the wind, and blow
Away boundaries that limit your flow!

Gold Award for my poem,  Resurrection’s Miracles

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

Resurrect Miracles

In a world where faith dissipates,
Like fog in the fall skies, creates
Mammals, mountains, shapes that face
The world, haughty in the knowledge that grace

Is innate and humanity is stamped
In your DNA, but while sins have manned
A heavy toll on your dwindling compassion
It requires the miracle of resurrection

In a bid to elevate humanity from
Its downward spiral into depravity that come
With a heavy price, souls flaming in hell.
It’s time for a resuscitation of what fell,

Sinful souls suffering, I give
You a second chance to live
A just, compassionate life full
Of prayer, communion with GOD, never full of bull.

Award of Appreciation for my poem, Bound Butterfly

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

…..

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.

Accolade for my poem, Sky, Soil, God

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Sky, Soil, GOD

As I look above, the sky’s scintillating
Colors, whether sunrise, twighlight, sunset, or night
They inspire moods that vary, like colors devoting
Beauty to your every versatility,  like a kite
In flight, I realize, GOD, is all around
Doling out beauty for joy that’s found

In being beside you when times
Are exciting,  cheerful,  depressing,
When you look down upon ecosystems
Surrounding you with miracles, outstanding
In their simplicity: ant home, beehives,
Even larger predators, the need survives

In each one, human, animal, insect,
Knowing YOU’RE present everywhere
Above, below, and at our side. In fact,
That knowledge is what initiate
Our appreciation for all GOD’S creations,
Innately aware of your presence’s jubilations

That empower all to subjugate
Negativity with optimism, transforming, like sunrise,
Our core into being compassionately humane.
