Accolade for my poem,  Holiday’s Glow

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Holidays’ Glow

Diamonds glitter in her ears, studs of stars
Shining brighter than the moon,
Pearls adorn her neck, snowwhite flakes bares
The city scape in a romantic glow, flown

With the wind of time as another
Holiday season, decorated to impress,
Flies by with a peaceful blanket of snow, a cover
Of harmony, calm flow of steady
Snowfall dropping on her jeweled
Hair and neck, icy cold, bright gold, fluffy,
Velvety feel like a mother’s hug, hold,

Love, eternal in its giving grace
As she too, with time falls down
As we grow old while youth’s stately
Presence melts like the snow shown

At its season dissipates, replaced
By spring’s colors, warmths, brilliant
Colors that shine brighter than diamond’s encased
In a vine wrapped in wine on a neck, elegant

Never gaunt but sparkles and haunts
Memories as transient as the snowflake
That touches, melts, becomes water, a font
Of changes just her her stylish break.

Accolade for my poem,  Amadeus

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Amadeus …

Amadeus, Amadeus … Amadeus  …

Amadé, a change of name that came With fame
But his genius compositions only improved,
His soul was a part of his music, recorded
For all to critique,  enjoy, the Heartbeat Waltz in a flame

Of cadence whose tempo flies into dance
To uplift the soul from the succulant morass,
The speed of the rhythm, consonance,
Modulation play together in harmony of place

And time to enjoy the emotional
Highs, lows, serene notes that
Help the soul soar into a world whose bat
Of destruction frolics under the guise  of corporeal

Sensuality innate in passionate humanity,
For without its imaginative freedom
Hope’s determination fluctuates into a dam
Of solid desperation only broken by musicality.

Review and accolade for my poem, My Love

Every time I receive a review,  I feel like a lottery winner. It’s empowering and highly  inspiring.  Thank you, guys, for your comments.

My Love

If “Love opens the most impossible gates;” and
“Love is the gate to all the secrets of the universe.”
Then, love is all powerful, eternal, rebellious, never bland,
But compassionate promise In a universe

Filled with dissent, competition, a love of money,
And sin. I give thanks that my love, husband,
Is my rock, my motivator, and one key
To my writing that’s unwavering and always holds my hand.

My love is there for the difficult decisions,
Guidance and friend to our children,
Has sleepless nights when they’re in positions
Of upheaval that require strategic precision.

For me, he is my star in a dark night,
The shoulder I cry into when life’s unbearable
Losses enrobe my heart in darkness, as he helps me fight
The devouring abyss making it acceptable.
As my shadow sits on the bench, alone,
My eyes mist like dew drops covering
The wet grass, as memories flood, gone,
The world has taken this love and kept living.

Certificate of Achievement for my acrostic poem: Ubiquitous

UBIQUITOUS

U nder the viral trends of social media,
B usy bees are seldom at rest, they consume
I nfinite videos, news- real or fake-, cartoons,
Q uibbling over media’s contexts, profits,
U ndeniable effects of dehumanization of
I ndomitable spirits of warriors, believers,
T raveling together a road filled with distress
O mnipresent in their daily lives, as their struggles are shown as
U biquitous, acceptable even as one sees their
S tarvation, amputations, and orphans, smiling still.
