Review and accolade for my poem, CHIAROSCURO

Thank you for the honor and your hard work. I always wait impatiently for your comments.  Thank you

CHIAROSCURO
Chained light,
Heavenly bright
Incessant shadow, don’t
Avert the radiance of justce
Reflecting right’s light
Offering hope when despair is
Somewhat easier to drown in, while
Courage to fight the battles of equality
Under the umbrella of darkened power
Revealed in rays that shine a ritulant glow
Over the dispossessed of humanity’s light.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem,  Rutilant’s Beauty

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Rutilant’s Beauty

The rutilant light shimmered
A vision of beauty caressing
The flow of life that’s endangered
By chaos, war, and debauchery swinging
Their hammer of perception
As the one and only
Equation for life’s classification
Of rank, race, religion all blindly
Followed without question,
Critiquing is just an objection
To a reality that needs annihilation,
A rebuilding of ethics, an abbreviation
For strength of character that’s
Created trends, not followers of What’s
Unimportant: superficial beauties,
Revamped through surgeries
All looking like barbies
None too human, as they’re
Plastic, artificial,  unreal fear
Of loosing beauty’s power.

Diploma for my poem,  Her Aromatic Windowseat

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Her Aromatic Windowseat

She looks out of her window
Where the darkness covers the world
Beyond her room filled with pink roses, in low
Vases, littered on her windowsill, not a coward,

She watches the storm brew from within,
Safe in her harbor, a haven of scents adorn
Her with mystique, incomparable to the crow who built-in
Its home outside her window in a flow of corn

Ears reaching up to the sky, pleading,
Pleading for rain to steep the soil with
Life giving water, rejuvenating, healing,
Giving abundance where famine takes away breath

Of life on a scorching summer day.
She watches, lightning flutters in brilliant Light
As thunder booms its might, scaring those in play
With extenuating fright whose plight

Will drown out their fears replacing
Them with a pinhole of hope shining
Through the darkest raven blackness flying
Into the sky with optimism sparking

A deluge of creativity unbound by earthy
Trifles that bog the soul into a rut of endless routine.

Award of Appreciation for my poem,  Life’s Turbulence

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Life’s Turbulence

As social media floods us with videos,
Pictures of people suffering in wars,
Famine, floods, quakes, mining stars,
I wonder if experiencing suffering throws

The meaning of life such great woes
That it obliges the sufferer to appreciate
Its transcience, sheer momentary joy that fate
Puts in their midst for gratitude to crows

Its sincerity when it rises from suffering,
Teaching the simplicity of life’s
Ethics, that need to be adhered to in strife’s
And Peace’s furors in their struggling.

Published my poem, Babe’s Phoenix,  in ILA Magazine

I’m deeply honored that my poem, Babe’s Phoenix, was chosen to published at ILA Magazine. Link:

https://www.ilamagazine.net/post/babe-s-phoenix

Babe’s Phoenix

Mother whose despair is like
Acrid smoke of burnt flesh
Surrounds her nightly course of fresh
Baked corpses whose breaths are a pike

Of fear that death is near,
But she carries hope on her hip
Cradled against her breast, a trip
She makes daily carrying life, as sear

Of a future, a Phoenix from the ash
Rises in the form of the innocent
Babe she holds, close to heart, bent
On giving it her life’s blood, brash

In the knowledge that her milk
Will sustain it while it syphons
Her health as nutrients, tons
Are unavailable, and sacrifice is silk

For her baby to grow on,
A Phoenix born from fire, passion,
Compassion, empathy, a fashion
That enrobes the babe, soar and don

Its firey feathers on display,
A life lived with dignity, glory,
Unparallelled beauty that’s never gory
Rather, it’s fascinating, never grey

Full of life where freedom
Expires in the ashes of
The Phoenix’s Rise, newly born, stuff
Of myth and legends alike ends’ never come.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem, Wishing for Death

Wishing for Death

As you age, wisdom flits in moments,
Unexpected as they happen quietly,
Without fanfare, they turn disappointments,
Successes into an arduous world where honesty

Equality, and values of empathy
Have flown the coop and landed on depravity,
Turning goodness to a selfish policy
That rots humanity from within, And honestly

Watching the evaporating humanity
Drive a sword into our hope for the future
Of society that’s sold its soul carelessly
To the highest bidder for avarice is a prayer

That never lets up, while the joy
Of Community’s standing together
Has rusted shut the chains of hope in a ploy
To resuscitate ethics’ splendor.

This disillusionment makes me wish
For death earlier so as not To watch
Decadence become their sole purpose, a brush
And it’s a contagion that sucks the soul into a hatch.

3rd Place Diploma Certificate for my poem,

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

Time

Nothing lasts forever except time,
Time that rhymes with grime,
Grime that distorts our beauty,
Beauty that’s transient,  never lasts in a bevy
Bevy of buzzing bees whose sting
Sting is deadlier than any bombing,
Bombing of others to assert power,
Power that leads to atrocities of murder.
Murder or death will take us,
Us too quickly, for time flies,
Flies away As you stake,
Stake a name in this world,
World that demands your poemagranite blood,
Blod, sweat, and money,
Money to live honorably, careening,
Careening swiftly in society,
Society that binds your values,
Values you live by to survive,
Survive the war of fleeting life.
Life that makes You dependent
Dependent on others, loss of youthful,
Youthful vigor as you become a shadow,
Shadow of who you were, dynamic,
Dynamic with every step now shadowed
Shadowed by limitations of time,
Time whose shadow is darker
Darker than life’s cheer,
Cheer that demands optimism for
For a life lived in light against shadow of time.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Rainbow of Rain

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Rainbow of Rain

Rainbowed love starts
In red hot passions
To orange hearts expanding,
To yellow glow brightening
The green of acceptance, change,
And growth whose prosperity
Turns into liquid blues,
Those of summer skies
Filled with potential of rains
That alter fallow lands
Into plentiful harvests.
The same as love’s abilities
To change others from singles
To a unit that expands
With the colors of rainbows
That are always varied,
Exiting changes that carried
Your worries under two mind
Supporting one another in a find
Filled well of love that carries
Change like loving swaddles
Embraced in four arms of loves.
The journey begins with a meeting,
Attraction, connection, all can be fleeting,
But you sacrifice, compromise, communicating
All your hopes, then, them entwining
Like the purple wisteria, two souls
Becoming one, growing a family that cools
Their stresses, soothes their anger,
As their flow is like the ocean water,
At times tranquil, others terrifying squalls
That end in making up sessions, falls,
Never, for they’re committed
To one another, wedded.
