Disdain – Poetry for Change

Certificate of Excellence for my acrostic poem, AUSTERITY

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Acrostic
AUSTERITY
Assuaging your desires at the expense of
Ubiquitous has become the norm, when
Stressing the need for discipline, restraint,
Temperateness, are all thrown out as they
Engulfs you in disdain of those whose lack of
Restraint will unfortunately lead to
Infinite complications in life that would
Testify that a bit of abstinence would
Yield a life fuller, complete with family, unity, humanity.

Published poem, Pirouette, in Facebook Flipbook OOTP magazine

I am supremely honored to have my poem published with OOTP Magazine.

Pirouette

I watch as she pirouettes,
Her dress, a parachute, flies
In waves to her flutters.

Her sensual beauty attracts
An audience, not for her moves,
But for the supplication in her eyes.

They shine with an inner peace
That translates into an oeuvred pace
Shinier than the purest diamond face.

My gaze is glued to her oneiric flexible
Limbs that have divined that the rain bubble
Ensconces her in a world where trouble

Is an abstract concept she’s never
Experienced, as her innocent cover
Protects her as she adds prayer to the dancer.

As her body flows, swings, undulates,
She hears titters on her esthetics.
She says: ‘Believe in a faith that provides
Truth and dares to challenge lies.’

They then turn away and bicker,
Having forgotten why she was a riveting picture.
