Accolade for my poem, Dear Thanksgiving

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Dear Thanksgiving,
Your presence among us is heartening,
It elevates our appreciation for the thing
We have or don’t have, we are harvesting

The sows of our deeds, those
We’ve planted throughout the years, in rows
Watching, waiting their blossoming woes
Interceding, only when needed like crows

We broadcast our successes, never
Our failures, though we learn never to cower
From the latter, as they build character.
Be kindly appreciative, live in acceptance better.

Our obsession of sharing has become a groveler

For attention when the creator
Has provided senses, nature, power
Of knowledge,  might, imagination that languish
If not bolstered by appreciation for the giver.

Keep us honest and return daily
Reminding us that deity
Is a necessity for hope’s flighty
Flight Into overcoming gravity.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem,  Symphony of Fall

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Symphony of Fall

As the leaves fall singing a last
Hoora to sunny days, warm breezes,
Replaced with a plethora of colors that freezes
On the ground in an array of colors that blast

The verdant greens into yellowish
Greens, oranges,  and burnished reds
That crinkle, crackle beneath our feet as heads
Turn to watch the scene divided by roads of hardship

Where the greens have faded
While the other paints a palette of reds
That burn beauty Within as it delves and heads
Into the sunset with its divided colors shaded

By God’s paintbrush that never
Disappoints those who appreciate
The divinity in the balance, never late,
Always just as it equalizes reality of the creator.

Diploma for my poem, HE Holds Hearts

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

HE Holds Hearts

Our bleeding, broken hearts of clay
And blood bleed profusely in a cup
Overflowing with torments of war that sup
On hope’s depression that hangs in a bay

Turned blood red in a husk of hay,
Dried up hope that can’t stay alive
In a world that seems to have forgotten to strive
For peace, for their compassion is blown astray.

HIS palms safeguard the pieces of hearts
Pulverized by visions of deadly murder
On screens that bring screams of mother,
Father, children in horrific suspension as parts

Are blown to smithereens and only identifying
Thing is the ink on limbs carrying names
Of children in black, that gets erased as flames
From explosions erode any ink stains remaining

On skin that deliquesces from being scorched
By burning flames that flutter over
Corpses, gas that dematerialize any cover
With its combustible matter, a deflagrated

Hideous serpent that swallows everything
In its path and ignites into a colorful, reddish blaze
That only receeds upon engulfing the craze
Of all that is in its path, turning it to a Phoenix rising from ash.

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.

The Fear! The Fear!!!!

Fire, fire, sinuous liar, spread fear like a liar.

Ceaselessly, undulating, weaving your web with a lyre

Blending, melding, fogging your thinking,

Embedding the conductor’s swaying, moving

Hands, mesmerizing in its bright bluish, red flame, burning.

Rise, raise your filaments into the sky in supplication

To the Creator, the all powerful, the giver and taker

Of life, pleading for a savior from the twister

That surrounds your vision with a blight of fear.

Paralysis sets in, and movement is bound in a lere.

Fear, fear of a teeny weeny virus is worse

Than the fire bathing you in brine and ashe

That sizzles up your skin, sneaking, bubbling

Into scorched patches of bright stinky skin.

Emphasize the need to survive this pendemic

As surely as you empathize with your fellow man’s

Plight in their struggle to eradicate fear’s

Hold on your life and your actions.

Stear the fear into a sepulcher of death

And despair so its power lays fallow in a breath

That inhales life and hope for longevity and health.

Beseech your Creator for the will to live and breathe

In hope, optimism, compassion, and empathy for humanity.
