Certificate of Outstanding for my poem,  Beach’s Stroll

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Beach’s Stroll

Hand in hand they stroll along the shore
Sandy footprints dissappear as swiftly
As they’re made, as their hands swing
Freely under the warm daylight, sunny

Ritulant rays caressing the fleeting time
That becomes nothing but memory
Imprinted on her heart, heavy crime
Of loss’ grime, leaving a residue of a ghostly

Chime of forgotten laughter,
Cuddles on scratchy sand that lingers
Longer than loss’ clam, whose wonder
In living without her partners’

Support, that she’s not a fan.
She gazes into the horizon
Waiting for a sign of rejoining the pan
That simmered with their love, not a poison

That could separate their camaraderie,
Understanding both weaknesses
And strengths that made the family
An unbreakable unit whose support suppresses

Stresses and anxieties built
In society to promote division
Of familial bonds so that compassion
Is lost, replaced by materialism and guilt.

Accolade for my poem,  Swimmer’s Regret

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Swimmer’s Regret

Art has many forms that astound,
Paintings in oils, acrylic,  water colors,
Poetry, imagery, similes, metaphors,
Sculptures of: wood, metal, ice, garbaged

Items repurposed into beauty that dumbfound
The beholder, listener, audience,
Whose aim is to be moved by peace
That’s striking In its presence to abound

In frames Of a sea cradling a swimmer,
Embracing his every stroke with power
To be driven to complete the competition as per
The rules, self-imposed, to strive for better

Health, wealth, status, and self-acceptance
That doing your best to achieve
Your goal is a noble undertaking to live
Without Regret of passed opportunities and brace

For the turbulence of life, mirrored
By nature’s squals, tornadoes, quakes
That compel fear to rise, never breaks
The mold except for those whose faith is grounded.

So the swimmer cuddles through
The cresting waves, never deterred
By the onslaught,  pushes toward
His goal letting life sink into pores that flew

Into the stratosphere, accepting
The warmth of the ocean as it entwines
Life’s struggles with joy that rhymes, like vines,
With belief’s empowering structure of believing.

Cuddles

What is good about having a pet?

Cuddles, an eternal devotion, and always waiting for you at the end of the day.  Long walks with hikes and adventure.  Family fun and the dog always chooses his favorite handler, my youngest daughter. She raised him to love the entire family, but she, for all intents and purposes, is his mother, friend, and the reducer of stress through his existence.
