Award of Appreciation for my poem, Symphony of Summer

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

Symphony of Summer

Scintillating summer days are upon us,
Here to stay for a season of togetherness
When play in the yard, park, are on display,
When age, gender, race hold no sway

For play is the Orchestra of life
That shimmers against strife,
Children play, adults converse,
Elderly lean on each other creating a verse

Of poetic flow ringing in harmony
Lest summer ends without happy
Peaceful play parading for all
To showcase the rhythm that’ll call

Everyone to emulate, for summer
Is transient, and it’s joyful heralder
Will hibernate,  than wake to its
Musical vibes drowning out the pits.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem: Feast’s Unity

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.

Writing, mothering, and cooking

Do you enjoy your job?

To me, none of the above are any less important than the other. While writing helps me express myself, my opinion on what’s happening in the world, my wonder about life, my frustrations on injustices, and much more, might seem to some of greater importance than being a mother, daughter, wife, cook, and friend to all. Yes, there’s a balancing act that needs to be placed so that none are priorotized above family needs. For me, my family is my rock that supports and encourages me to write without fear. The latter took time to become innate, but I believe it’s there now.

So, to answer the question, yes, I enjoy all my jobs, although some are more draining than others, but each is special to me.

Holding my baby

Describe one of your favorite moments.

I waited 9 months to meet her. Through my swollen belly, cramps, hot flashes, sweats, and excruciating pain, I finally got to hold her, Fida is her name. She’ll be 29 at the end of August, but the second she was placed in my arms, she became all mine. Her smell, her tiny fingers, toes, arms, tummy, diapers, and sweet voice. Even when she cried, she was quiet, calm, and too cute for her own good. She made me a mother, teacher, friend, mentor, who surpassed her loving mother.

That moment is still ingrained in my heart and mind. I take it out when I’m down, peruse the happiness, joy, fear, and the miracle of birth, and know that the world will make a positive turn, in which it will revere the family unit, it’s simplicity and loyalty.

Repairing Life

Reap, repair, revere, reverse, roam, run
Embrace what’s broken,
Practice patience …
Air out your thoughts …

Implement actions to your goals…
Renew your drives
Implement changes
Never surrender to failures
Grow your flexibility and fix the impossible.

Somewhere
Once there,
My repair begins
Embedding …
Tuning into
Having patience
In achieving
New dreams
Gone wild with life!

Holiday Tidings

While the weather out is jolly,

The snowy ice is frothy

My laté is warm and fluffy

With a heart made with three bubbly.

I hold its warmth knowing

That I have three babies, loving,

Waiting to shower me with it by hugging,

While my hubby waits his turn, pacing.

So I happily snuggle in my warmest

Clothes, harvesting their love in a jest.

There’s no rest

For those I love best.

Merry Christmas 🎅 and Happy New Year to all!

Cardinal’s Passion

What’s spring if not a rebirth of life, beauty, and passion?

The last as red as a cardinals’ feathers, fly

Into your heart, home, and nook with preservation

Of your unique humanity looking kingly

As you let your heart soar in the revelation

That life, flowers, trees, and shrubs all beautiful,

All colorful just like a spring sun that shines fitfully.
