Diploma Certificate for my poem,  Love’s Poetry

Thank you, administrators, for the honor and your hard work and mine! Being 12 of 26 poets honored is a great impetuous to write more.

Love’s Poetry

As light is hope and all that’s bright,
Learning to love in the sun illuminates
Your perception on values, character, that fight
To blot out negativity that’s darkened puss

That festers as an abyssimal blight
To optimism whose courage roars in
Flight to piece together poems whose bite
Is only a loving caress, as their images pin

Your beauty from words to face, wrinkled
From endured hardships but glows
With the passionate compassion of being loved.
As you shower me with languid eye’s light, the fight throws

Away the scourge of love’s broken heart
By filling papers with poems that brook
No argument to its plight in trying to strut
The words in verses and lines that cook

Your presence into the essence of love
Unbroken by a pessimistic world that implodes
When amour is at its best fighting in brave
Behest of a soul needing rest in paper adobes.

Two of my poems: Upheaval, Never Give Up,  are published in this wonderful anthology.

Upheaval

Coup d’état! Civil Unrest!
Rebellion against a colonizer, a pest,

Businesses men, family men
Gathering together are arrested, put in a pen,

No pillow, blanket, toilet, only a feast …

… , ethics strive
To cause trouble in the hive

That western society creates
For immigrants needing a place to forgets,

As trauma continues its hold, bold
In its fight to take root, but I won’t, under it, fold.

Never Give Up

Give up, never!
The challenges of life give greater
Satisfaction when struggling to overcome them.

Give up, never!
Through war planes, attacker
On our land, as my partner is an army officer. …

…

And belief that you’re being tested makes me stronger.

Give up, never!
Give up, never!
Give up, never!

Certificate of Excellence for my poem: Peace’s Breath

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

Peace’s Breath

Round, round goes the world
In a merry-go-round filled
With laughter, life, violence,
Death in a grim cycle needing peace.

Peace for the young whose
Disrupted childhoods froze
With wars’ colonizing program
To alter countries’ cultures for a flame

Feasting on disintegration of families,
Cultures, languages, civilizations whose priorities
Are fostering longevity by strengthening
Community’s peaceful bonds, wishing,

Wishing for the propagation of unity
Against an army of aggression, violently
Expanding its reach into disharmony
Among land, people, conquerors, passionately

Striving to compensate murder
Rather than an orchestration that’ll ponder
The need to revitalize a willful strength
Embued with peace’s powerful breath.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Wintery Hope

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

Wintery Hope


A new chapter begins in a flurry
Of white flowy snow, soft as wool, pearly
Shine giving us fleeting hope that’ll soar
In flight forever fighting the depressor
For dominion over the fealty for life
That’ll keep our flighty hearts young with fire.

Diploma Certificate for my poem: Sky, Soil, GOD

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

Sky, Soil, GOD

As I look above, the sky’s scintillating
Colors, whether sunrise, twighlight, sunset, or night
They inspire moods that vary, like colors devoting
Beauty to your every versatility,  like a kite
In flight, I realize, GOD, is all around
Doling out beauty for your joy that’s found

In being beside you when times
Are exciting,  cheerful,  depressing,
When you look down upon ecosystems
Surrounding you with miracles, outstanding
In their simplicity: ant home, beehives,
Even larger predators, the need survives

In each one, human, animal, insect,
Knowing YOU’RE present everywhere
Above, below, and at our side. In fact,
That knowledge is what initiate
Our appreciation for all GOD’S creations,
Also innately aware of your presence’s jubilations,

That empower all to subjugate
Negativity with optimism, transforming
Our core into being compassionately humane.

Accolade for my poem: Festive City

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

Festive City

Painted roofs
On a cold day, running like hoofs,
Their brilliant shine,
It’s just fine
Surrounded by pine
Covered in blinking lights
Green, red, blue, whites
That twinkle at nights
Giving rise to hope
For a future where you don’t mope,
Fall into depression
Caused by holiday celebration
That cost a liver, kidney,
That you can’t live without the key
Of life, for cheer revokes
Loneliness, sadness that provokes
Moodiness, violent cakes
Falling apart As you built a life that makes
You proud of your veneer
That never touches ethics that peer
Within, making you stronger
For your life is lighter
As most stress is caused
By gossip’s ear, whose vanity paused
To try and emulate what others had.

My poem, Cathedral Lights,  honored by Invisible Poets

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

Cathedral Lights

As the night covered the sky in a blanket
Of black,  the sudden lights in the tower
Lit up, like a Christmas tree, fit for a fight,
The most important one: Faith, prayer,

And belief in the here after
Whose work takes place in living
A life of discipline, a strength barer
For it gives you power for knowing

When to listen, stay calm, or fight.
Looking upon those brilliant
Lights is a beacon of peace at the height
Of chaos, violence, and war that can’t

Be put out, but that Cathedral,
Its age, architecture, and what it
Stands for: peace, acceptance, a call
To self-respect by realizing that belief built

The Cathedral within with all its
Grandor, elegance, survival, and brilliance
That outshines any building whose parts
Are man-made, while its faith has an innate luminescence.

Certificate of Excellence,  poem, Existential Void

Thank you, administrators, for your hard work,  and for choosing my poem for such an honor.

Existential Void


Double Accrostic


Extenuating circumstances       Vie to the
Xysti to try and rest                     Omitting
Intentionality of an existental voId
Sublimating intensions of       Destructively
Tumultuous wars within that try to
Eradicate despair’s darkest emptiness,
Never allowing it to overflow with
The love, faith needed to defy    Villany
Interminable in its need to destrOy
Astronomical strength that         Intensifies
Living in the light of hope, never Denouncing the void.
