Diploma Certificate for my poem: Masked Wonder

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

Masked Wonder

Dressed in her ivory maskerade ballgown,
Her golden mask, sitting holding a frown,
Wondering carelessly why their return
Was before the clock struck one.

She stands by the shore a glow bathed
Her translucent skin brightly locked
In wonder, as she gazes through the darkened
Sky lit by a brilliant moon and stars, dangled

In clusters, creating images and a haze
Of moving light surrounding the blaze
Of hope and wonder that are cause
For our betterment and flays the craze

Of depression’s loneliness that she
Left behind, as the music was too loud a bee,
She stirs from her pose of repose to see
And appreciate the beauty and comfort that be

Her succor as she contemplates
The dichotomy of a world at wars
While the other lives freely and creates
Memories, while the other loses or dies.

Diploma Certificate for my poem: Frozen Footprints

Thank you, administrators, for the accolade 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!

Diploma Certificate for my poem: Rainbow of Loss

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

Rainbow of Loss

As they embrace,
Her head nestled between
shoulder and neck, her face
In repose, as she caresses hair with keen

Fervor that helps settle
Roiling emotions of loss
That swamp the couple
After hearing of their gross

Loss: miscarriage of an awaited
Baby, planned to a tee,
Its trousseau the nursery filled
With colors as plentiful as a rainbow to easily

Locate the bundle of joy
Wherever s/he  may be playing
Mischievously, hiding, in a ploy
To circumvent the possible disciplining

That s/he would have to face
For the mess created by these
Itty bitty innocent hands that race
Across your heartstrings

Even before s/he is born
As hormones intertwine with emotions
Filled with love for a future that’s torn
Away by loss’ depressions.

The rainbow decorating the
Nursery has another goal; bright,
To help the couple find the beauty
Within that’ll help them win the fight.

Diploma Certificate for my poem: Book’s Visionary

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

Book’s Visionary

Creating a world with paper and pen,
I watch my vision evolve to stun in a den
Of books, windows to the unknown,

They litter the shelves, organized
In alphabetical order for all it’s simplified,
But those unique books, mine, and those grown

In power as time passed, and some
Tried to surpass their Ideology that come
With experience, social living, wearing a crown

Of knowledge,  practicality, friendship
That coalesce into strong leadership
As your intellect expanded with the blown

Exposé of things that seem foreign
As your experience is limited to the line
Of things taught to you not learned with a frown

As you explore its meaningful message
While you look at other references, not a cage,
To amplify your understanding its daily application

Not just learning but doing, changing.
That’s the purpose of books of all genres, rebelling.
