Double Platinum Certificate – Poetry for Change

Double Platinum Certificate for my poem, Dangling Moon

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Dangling Moon

Sitting on the tip of the crescent moon
Dangling her legs, pushing off, swinging
As though the moon embraced her in a cocoon
Of life’s laughter, lighter than lightning,

Brighter than the stars’ brilliance,
A comforter of the soul closer
To heaven’s doors, seating, no coincidence
That the moon hovers, never a loser,

But changes everyday in looks
From crescent to full moon,
Each highlights its own beautiful hooks
That enliven hope like a boon,

A boon from GOD to humanity,
A circle of dazzling blessings
Enrobing my imagination, flowy
Possibilities into dreams, not guessings,

No certainty that the light of poetry shines
To guide her plight into a roadmap
Of strength built on patience, never fines
Her more than she can conquer in a lap.

As she swings on memories that mirror
Her plight of losses that flow
Like the changes in the moon, a bower
For rest as I swing under the full moon’s glow.

Double Platinum: Certificate of Excellence, for my poem,

I’m honored to have been chosen for this accolade. Thank you, administrators, for your hard work.

Babe’s Phoenix

Mother whose despair is like
Acrid smoke of burnt flesh
Surrounds her nightly course of fresh
Baked corpses whose breaths are a pike

Of fear that death is near,
But she carries hope on her hip
Cradled against her breast, a trip
She makes daily carrying life, as sear

Of a future, a Phoenix from the ash
Rises in the form of the innocent
Babe she holds, close to heart, bent
On giving it her life’s blood, brash

In the knowledge that her milk
Will sustain it while it syphons
Her health as nutrients, tons
Are unavailable, and sacrifice is silk

For her baby to grow on,
A Phoenix born from fire, passion,
Compassion, empathy, a fashion
That enrobes the babe, soar and don

Its firey feathers on display,
A life lived with dignity, glory,
Unparallelled beauty that’s never gory
Rather, it’s fascinating, never grey

Full of life where hope, freedom
Expire in the ashes of
The Phoenix’s Rise, newly born, stuff
Of myth and legends alike ends’ never come.
