ingenuity – Poetry for Change

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem, Hidden Garden

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Hidden Garden

‘In the garden where secrets grow,
Colors dance in a vibrant show’
As secrets grow in each blossom
Where rainbowed hues bloom

In varieties that astound the eye
Hidden from the sight of those who fly
By seeing only tangible beauty, while
This garden can only be perceived with the guile

Of childhood’s ingenuity that discerns
Patterns unseen by those whose senses
Have dulled with time. So, the child finds
The key that opens a doorway to gardens

Of Eden where the flytrap behaves
Like a pet, while the Cobra Lily heaves
Bubbles filled with rainbows that strive
To seep into the world with endless hope to give

The Death Camasa flair of colored scents
Dazzle the olfactory glands in a bid to circumventing
Its natural toxicity, for the child only sees beauty
While adults fear the unknown blindly.

Accolade for my poem, Illusion

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Illusion

She looks out of her window
Dressed in a red ball gown with a tress,
A bow on her neck, bent over low
To contemplate the beauty of the view, less

She sees of depravity the better
As she focuses on ingenuity
Of man’s creation, Eifel Tower,
Where kings and queens have gracefully

Traversed, leaving an imprint
Of inspiration to walk in their
Footsteps unknowing of the pitfalls built
For sovereigns whose bitter

Pill it is to rule as others serve
Their graciousness!
What a cruel world she’ll leave
Behind, for people choose foulness

Rather than imagination,
Discipline, fortitude, wonder
Where all is achievable in succession
When the mind is expected to prosper.
