elegant – Poetry for Change

Platinum Certificate for my poem, Encased in Flowers

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Encased in Flowers

She seems to float over flowers
Pastel colored in pinks, lilacs, beige,
Surrounding her while they adorn her beige
Print dress filled with flowers.

Her svelte figure elegantly slides
Across the garden she walks through,
Her mind filled with beauty’s flow,
Effect, inspiration that has no ends.

To her each flower is a promise
Of power, where fragility isn’t vulnerability,
No its delicate countenance presumably
Is nothing but appearance,

Their roots are sturdy,
Their leaves filled with hues of greens,
Their slim stem carries hope that leans
Towards humanity in simple beauty.

Two Certificates of Excellence, Feast’s Unity & Jailed Wine

Feast’s Unity

Crave the jubilation of feasting,
every religious ceremony that binds
lonely souls into a community
even if they are racially, culturally different,
but, all enemity is set aside when celebrating the
revival of humanity’s compassionate understanding.
arrows from Cupid’s bow hits its
target and transforms aggression
into love, friendship, jubilation,
owning that positivity, propagating it, and
never letting pessimism or negativity
spring into the forefront without a care,

And only those ungenerous with their humanity
forgo gatherings that uplift the soul.

jumping into the fray, with all the
overgrown children’s merriment
Yields a time filled with astounding wonder.

Jailed Wine

The wine flute, amber colored,
Glistens in the light twighlight, caged,
Jailed in a bird cage, vainly
Trying not to succomb to the dainty
Elixir of fire that has become
The world’s addiction to overcome

Insecurities, depression, isolation
Amidst the many, as she, elegant sophistication,
Carries the caged wine, daintily
Trying not to spill its contents, precisely
Measured for the utmost enjoyment,
As she crosses the sands of time in bewilderment.
